Bempton railway station serves the village ofBempton in theEast Riding of Yorkshire,England. It is located on theYorkshire Coast Line and is operated byNorthern who provide all passenger train services. It is located on the single track section betweenHunmanby andBridlington and is the nearest railway station to theRSPB nature reserve atBempton Cliffs (1+1⁄2 miles (2.4 km) away to the east).
The station formerly had two platforms and a signal box (which supervised the now automatedlevel crossing here), but the second platform has been disused since the Bridlington to Hunmanby section was singled in 1969. Goods sidings and weighbridge were located immediately north of the station.
The station is unstaffed, with a basic shelter on the single platform and a ticket machine located at the entrance to the platform. The station house is now in private ownership. Step-free access is available to the platform from the adjacent road.[2]
From May 2019, the service has been increased to hourly in both directions all week (from the former nine each way every weekday and six each way on Sundays that operated previously).[3] Most southbound trains continue toDoncaster andSheffield, though there is one that runs toYork instead, on weekdays and Saturdays.
