The North Holderness Light Railway was a proposed light railway, which was to have been constructed between Beverley and North Frodingham, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England.[1]
The line would have begun from a junction with the Yorkshire Coast Line, slightly to the north of Beverley railway station, and served villages and agricultural land in the Holderness area. Stations were proposed at Tickton, Routh, Long Riston, Leven, Brandesburton and North Frodingham.
The route can be seen on tiled maps of the North Eastern Railway network[2] still extant at:
- Beverley railway station
- Hartlepool railway station
- Middlesbrough railway station
- Morpeth railway station
- Saltburn railway station
- Scarborough railway station
- Tynemouth Metro station
- Whitby railway station
- York railway station
