Summary edit

Description
English: The Hull & Barnsley Railway, Weedley Dale, Low Hunsley, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.

Redundant road bridge over the dismantled Hull & Barnsley Railway west of Weedley Tunnel in the Yorkshire Wolds.


The Hull & Barnsley Railway was built in the 1880s together with the Alexandra Dock in Hull, to break the monopoly of the North Eastern Railway Company and provide an additional trading route inland from the busy Humber port. The railway didn't last long. Services west of South Howden station were withdrawn from 1st January 1932 and the regular service between Hull and South Howden ended on 30th July 1955, although some excursion traffic continued to use the line until about 1958. After that only a short section remained in Hull serving the local chemical works until the 1970s when another short stretch of the line just south of Selby was reopened for delivering coal to the newly built Drax Power Station. The steep-sided cutting through the sandstone and chalk between Weedley Tunnel and Drewton Tunnel later became a quarry, operated by Stoneledge Plant & Transport of Cottingham.
