Rawcliffe railway station is a railway station that serves the village of Rawcliffe in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. The station is located on the Pontefract Line and is {{convert|28|mi|km}} east of {{rws|Leeds}}.

The line passing through here was once a busy passenger and freight link to the inland port of Goole (the line and station first being opened by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in 1848) but since the mid-1980s much of the traffic that once used this route has disappeared. The route is single track between {{rws|Hensall}} and Goole, the level crossing here has been automated and the rail-served freight terminal in Goole docks sees little use. The station has also been downsized and its signal box demolished.

The former five trains each way per day service of the late 1980s (see BR National Passenger Timetables from May 1988-90) was cut in half in 1991 (due to shortage of rolling stock) and again in 2004, leaving only a residual "Parliamentary" minimum timetable in operation east of {{rws|Knottingley}} to avoid the need for statutory closure proceedings - a situation that remains unchanged to this day.[1]

Facilities

The station is unstaffed, with only part of the one remaining platform in use (though the defunct station building still stands and is used as a private residence). A single waiting shelter, timetable poster board and public telephone are the only facilities provided. Tickets can only be purchased in advance or on the train, as there is no ticketing provision. Step-free access is available between the car park and platform.[2]

Services

Rawcliffe has a very limited service. One train a day goes to Goole and two trains a day go to Leeds, Mondays to Saturdays.[3] There is no service on Sundays.
