East Riding of Yorkshire - Transport

Transport

The East Riding has only a small segment of motorway. Part of the M62 serves to link the Hull area to West Yorkshire and the national motorway network, while the M18 incidentally passes the district border near Goole. Primary roads in the district include the A63, A164, A165, A1034, A166, A1033 and the A1079.

Hull Paragon is a large railway station, served by lines to the west including London, (the Sheffield to Hull Line, running to Sheffield and Doncaster and the Hull to York Line, running to York and Selby), and to the north (the Yorkshire Coast Line, which serves Scarborough). See Railway stations in the East Riding of Yorkshire.

Train operators active in the area are Northern Rail, NXEC and TransPennine Express. Hull Trains is an 'open access' operator established in 2002 running fast services between London and Hull, Brough and Howden. Bus services are provided by several operators including First Group, which provides services from the East Riding into York, Goole Town Service and also services from Goole to Doncaster. Stagecoach provides services from the East Riding to Hull and into Lincolnshire, and East Yorkshire Motor Services, historically the dominant area operator, provides a wide variety of bus services throughout the East Riding. Yorkshire Coastliner provides services from Bridlington to Malton, York and Leeds.

The Humber Bridge, a road-only bridge, part of the A15, links Hessle, west of Hull, with Barton-upon-Humber in Lincolnshire. West of this the next crossing of the river (the Ouse at this point) are three bridges near Goole: a railway bridge, the M62 bridge and the A614.

The area is served by Humberside Airport located in Lincolnshire.
