Information on York Station
Standing 188 ½ miles north of London King’s Cross Main Line terminus approximately on the half way point of the East Coast Main Line between London and Edinburgh is York railway station. Originally part of the North Eastern Railway York is one of the most important railway junctions on the British railway network and where the southbound Leeds branch of the East Coast Main Line diverges and becomes a Cross Country Route. The station is also the terminus for the east-west Trans-Pennine routes.
York is an ancient Roman and Viking stronghold city with a great cathedral and was the target of early railway promoters. It was also the power base of George Hudson ‘The Railway King’ where the old North Eastern Railway made its headquarters.
The former motive power depot and goods station in Leeman Road York now houses the National Railway Museum and is home to Britain’s premier collection of railway history, a bridge leads from the station to the museum.
The National Collection hosts approximately 280 rail vehicles where around 100 are normally on show at the National Railway Museum and the remainder divided between the Shildon Locomotion Museum in Shildon County Durham and other museums and railway heritage sites.
Preserved Steam, Diesel and Electric locomotives on display are joined by various wagons and coaches and a Japanese Built Train.
The station at York is very impressive and although the layout has been changed over the years to include the electrification of the East Coast Main Line it still deals with a significant volume of main line, cross county, local and freight trains.
York’s present station was designed by architect Thomas Prosser and built in 1871-77.
The station is owned by Network Rail and operated by National Express East Coast.
