Howden railway station

The station was originally opened by the Hull and Selby Railway (H&SR) on 1 July 1840 as Howden and Bubwith, and was renamed as Howden on 16 April 1869. In 1885 the Hull and Barnsley Railway (H&BR) opened its own Howden station on the northern edge of Howden itself. On 1 July 1922 the H&SR station was renamed North Howden, ==Facilities==

The station is not staffed but has tickets machines on each platforms; or buy tickets in advance of travel. The former buildings still stand, but are now in residential use. The platforms are staggered either side of a level crossing - this provides step-free access to both and the link between them. There are shelters on both platforms, along with digital information screens. Train running information can also be gained from timetable posters. ==Services==

The station now has a regular frequency service (approximately hourly each way), thanks to recent improvements in the York to Hull line timetable. All westbound trains call at Selby and then continue to either York (Northern) or London King's Cross (Hull Trains). There is also a limited service to and from Leeds and Liverpool Lime Street (a.m. peak only). Eastbound, there is at least one departure per hour to Hull provided by the various operators that call there. Since the new 2019 winter timetable was introduced, many of these now run through to . On Sundays, five services are provided by Hull Trains and eight services are provided by Northern in each direction at various points throughout the day. No TPE services stop here on Sundays. ==References==
