When the first stage of the York-Beverley route was opened in 1847, trains terminated at Market Weighton because Lord Hotham would not allow a railway to be built across his land. He relented in 1860 on the proviso that a station was built for him at Kiplingcotes. Although the line proved profitable, it was severed by Beeching’s axe in 1965. The trackbed is now open as a footpath, under the stewardship of East Riding County Council. They also own the signalbox.
