The line once traversed the flatlands of the Yorkshire Wolds, linking York to Beverley, where trains could then continue along to Hull. In 1965, it was closed during the Beeching axe period, and its remaining six stations (there had been 13 when the line opened 100 years earlier) were closed. Unusually, only two, Earswick and Market Weighton, were demolished, and the rest were converted for a variery of eclectic uses, while the Market Weighton to Beverley section has become the Hudson Way cycle path. Not pictured are Holtby, Nunburnholme, Londesborough and Cherry Burton, which are all now private homes.

Kiplingcotes has been preserved as it was in 1965. The station is now a private house, the signal box an information centre and the goods shed a furniture workshop. After the line's closure, the woman who ran the tearoom at Market Weighton Station relocated her business to Kiplingcotes for a period | jpimedia
