Boothferry Park Halt railway station opened on 6 January 1951 on an embankment of the former Hull and Barnsley Railway to serve the Boothferry Park football stadium which had opened in Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire in August 1946. The station was one of several in England built to provide a dedicated match-day service to a football ground; others include Manchester United Football Ground (still open), Watford Stadium Halt, Ramsline Halt in Derby, and the first Wembley Stadium station. The station was first used for a match against Everton when six trains ran the football service between Paragon Station, Hull's central railway station and Boothferry Park. The station closed in 1986 for safety reasons.
The station was a single platform, 200 yards (180 m) long, that was removed in October 2007 by Network Rail during engineering work.
