Trains to Barton-On-Humber - Station Details and further Information on Barton-On-Humber Train Services
Barton-on-Humber train station serves the town of Barton-upon-Humber in North Lincolnshire, England. Monday to Saturdays there is generally a two-hourly service from Barton-on-Humber to Grimsby Town and Cleethorpes. There are four arrivals & departures on summer Sundays also. Freight services do not operate over the route, apart from the occasional engineering train. A restriction prevents mainline locomotives from entering the station.
The station, which was once the terminus of a 3.25 miles branch line from New Holland, is nowadays the terminus of the Barton Line services operating from Cleethorpes. It is situated 22.75 miles west of the resort. There is a connecting bus service from the town to Hull across the Humber Bridge which was introduced on the opening of the bridge to replace the New Holland Ferry.
Approach to the branch was by a triangular junction at New Holland which enabled passenger trains to operate a New Holland Pier to Barton service in connection with the ferries and rail services from Cleethorpes and for freight to have direct access from the main line via Ulceby Junction. When the Humber Bridge opened the junction was removed and passenger services operated directly from Cleethorpes via the new platform at New Holland. |
