Leeds is now served by 2 types of brand new trains. The class 331s run by Northern, currently operate between Leeds and Doncaster, calling at all stations.
In 1900, the North Eastern Railway authorised the installation of Tile Maps at twenty five of their stations. Whitby is one of the nine left to have their map still in situ and intact. The other eight are at Beverley, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Morpeth, Saltburn, Scarborough, Tynemouth and York.
Beverley has two trains per day in each direction to/from London Kings Cross operated by Hull Trains.
Another stop made by the Hull Trains service is Grantham.
The section of the Eastern Counties Railway between Brentwood and Colchester was opened on 29th March 1843, and one of the original stations on that section was Kelvedon. Another station on that section is Hatfield Peverel.
The hourly CrossCountry service between Stansted Airport and Birmingham New Street via Peterborough and Leicester stops here and is supplemented by a roughly hourly Greater Anglia service running between Cambridge and Stansted Airport.
Stansted Airport station is in a concrete box structure that is unusually above ground level rather than below ground, being constructed under the terminal building. This is evident at the western end of the platforms which are left open and is a similar design to Wembley Centralstation.
