History
The Hull and Selby Railway was opened 2 July 1840. Wressle station does not appear to have been an original feature of the line; however a market day service from "Wressel Bridge" was recorded in 1843.
The station was in full use by 1855. The station was a single storey brick structure with a verandah, located on the south platform. The spellings Wressel and Wressle have both been used, with the 'Wressle' becoming standard after around 1863.
Wressle was listed for closure in the 1963 Beeching report, but remained open to avoid local hardship. The station became unstaffed in 1976.
Facilities
The station has very basic amenities - it has a waiting shelter on platform 1, a single customer help point on platform 2 and timetable poster boards on each side. There is no ticket machine, so passengers must buy in advance or on the train. Step-free access is available to both platforms via the level crossing at the eastern end.
Services
Six trains a day call at Wressle (Mon-Sat) in the May 2016 timetable; three to York and three to Hull. No trains call on Sundays.
The station, and all trains serving it, are operated by Northern.
