Filey railway station is a Grade II* listed station opened in 1846 on the Hull to Scarborough Line, which serves the town of Filey in North Yorkshire, England.
It is operated by Northern, who provide all passenger train services.
The station was on the York and North Midland Railway's branch from its York to Scarborough Railway (opened 1845) at Seamer to Bridlington, part of which connected to the Hull and Selby Railway (Bridlington branch) at Bridlington; both branches were sanctioned in 1845 and opened in 1846.
The station building was completed in 1846 to the designs of G.T. Andrews; a single storey red brick structure with slate roof and sandstone dressings, with a 7 bay main entrance projected from the station. The platforms were 276 and 277 feet (84 and 84 m) long. The trainshed roof was common Andrew's design using a wrought iron truss structure supporting a wood and slate roof.
The first train ran from Seamer station on 5 October 1846, arriving at 1 pm, with a large celebration and dinner including the presence of George Hudson. The regular service began the following day.
The rail facilities at Filey also included a goods shed, also an Andrew's design, on the opposite side of the level crossing northwest of the station, and a coal depot with sidings to the south east of the station, and a gas works adjacent to it.
In circa the 1870 an NER footbridge was added. The platforms were extended in 1888 to 364 and 383 feet (111 and 117 m), then to 390 and 405 feet (119 and 123 m) in 1906, timber platform extensions were also added later, giving a platform length of 480 feet (150 m) at peak. In the 19th century there were also ticket platforms.
