In a country lane off the busy A165 road on the Yorkshire coast stands a wooden gate, seen here in October 2009. The gate provided the only public entrance to a large station. The station saw use in the summer, almost exclusively on Saturdays, for an intensive period of around 9 hours. Passenger arrivals and departures during that relatively short spell would often run to several thousand people. This was the nature of the excursion station at Filey Holiday Camp, serving the former Butlins complex located on the other side of the road, with the main link between the two via a tunnel.
