Boothferry Park Halt railway station opened on 6 January 1951[1][2] 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.[2] 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.[3]
The station was a single platform, 200 yards (180 m) long,[4] that was removed in October 2007 by Network Rail during engineering work.[3]
