Victoria Dock branch line

The Victoria Dock branch line was a branch line within the city of Kingston upon Hull that connected the Hull and Hornsea Railway to the east and the York and North Midland Railway and Hull and Selby Railway to the west, terminating at Victoria Dock Station.

[1][2][3] Victoria Station was the terminus for the Hull and Holderness Railway when it opened and Hull and Hornsea Railway trains terminated at Wilmington until both lines used the Victoria Branch Line to run all the way to Paragon Station.

The new Ring Road meant that the trackbed from Wilmington to Southcoates was removed.

Travelling east from the Junction the line had stations at Hull Botanic Gardens, Stepney, Sculcoates, Wilmington and Southcoates before terminating at Victoria Docks.

The latter crossing was originally on the level, but around 1900 the road was lowered and a railway bridge was erected.
