The impressive frontage of Bridlington station. The station first opened in October 1846 by the York and North Midland Railway and had a train shed designed by George Townsend Andrews very similar to those found at Filey and Beverley. However, due to the huge success and growth of Bridlington, largely in part due to the railway, the present station was built in 1912 by the North Eastern when six platforms were in use. The covered station concourse is the home to a number of small businesses as well as the ticket office and a café/bar that is heavily railway-themed.
