Summary

Description
English: Swine Railway Station, Swine, East Riding of Yorkshire, England.


Former railway station on the dismantled Hull & Hornsea Railway line at Swine, looking north across Coniston Lane.
In 1846 the York & North Midland Railway Co. was granted permission to build a line from Beverley to Hornsea, and in 1861 Joseph Armytage Wade promoted the building of a line from Hornsea to Hull and the Hull & Hornsea Railway Co. was formed. The line opened in 1864 with a station near the sea at Hornsea and another at Hornsea Bridge at the junction of Southgate and Rolston Road. After little or no financial success the company merged with North Eastern Railway in 1866. As part of sweeping national rail closures, Swine and nearby Ellerby stations closed to goods in 1963 and entirely in 1964 together with the terminus at Hornsea seafront, and Hornsea Bridge Station closed along with the railway line the following year.

The path of the railway now forms the Hornsea Rail Trail and the eastern stretch of the Trans Pennine Trail. The Trans Pennine Trail runs for 215 miles from Hornsea to Southport and was officially opened in September 2001. Many of the former station buildings like the one here at Swine are now privately owned houses.
