The halt was built for works trains to and from the Humber Portland Cement Company's works (Humber Cement Works), and operated from 1920 to 1989. HistoryIn June 1920 the North Eastern Railway was approached by the Humber Portland Cement Company with a request for a station halt for their new works near Melton. The company offered to pay the construction costs, and guaranteed a minimum number of tickets to be purchased.{{sfn|Bairstow|1995|p=80}} The halt was located at the "Melton Crossing" level crossing.[1] The initial halt was a two platform station with the platforms on the slow lines of the quadruple track at the crossing.{{sfn|Bairstow|1995|p=80}} The halt opened in October 1920, and was originally named Melton Crossing Halt.[2] It was situated between {{stnlnk|Brough}} and {{stnlnk|Ferriby}},[3] The station was renamed Melton Halt by British Railways by February 1965.[2] In 1970 after the one of the tracks was removed (Hull slow) a new platform was constructed.{{sfn|Bairstow|1995|p=80}} The station was closed by British Rail on 10 July 1989.[2] References1. ^Ordnance Survey. 1:2500. 1927 2. ^1 2 {{cite book |last=Butt |first=R.V.J. |title=The Directory of Railway Stations |year=1995 |publisher=Patrick Stephens Ltd |location=Yeovil |isbn=1-85260-508-1 |id=R508 |page=158 |ref=harv }} 3. ^{{cite book |last1=Croughton |first1=Godfrey |last2=Kidner |first2=R.W. |last3=Young |first3=Alan |title=Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations |year=1982 |publisher=Oakwood Press |location=Salisbury |isbn=0-85361-281-1 |page=101 |ref=harv }} Sources
