History
The Hull and Selby Railway was opened 2 July 1840.[1] Wressle station does not appear to have been an original feature of the line;[note 1] however a market day service from "Wressel Bridge" was recorded in 1843.[2][3]
The station was in full use by 1855.[2] The station was a single storey brick structure with a verandah, located on the south platform. The spellings Wressel and Wressle have both been used, with the 'Wressle' becoming standard after around 1863.[3]
Wressle was listed for closure in the 1963
Facilities
The station has very basic amenities - it has a waiting shelter on platform 1, a single customer help point on platform 2 and timetable poster boards on each side. There is no ticket machine, so passengers must buy in advance or on the train. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the level crossing at the eastern end.[4]
