last train ran in 1965. The abandoned lines to Beverley, and to Selby are now used as public paths, as the Hudson Way and Bubwith Rail Trail respectively. Bus services provided by East Yorkshire Motor Services, link the town with Beverley, Hull, Pocklington, York, Holme on Spalding Moor, Driffield and Bridlington. The three-mile £5.1 million A1079 bypass opened in March 1991.

The re-opened railway would skirt the edge of the town as the former alignment has since been built over.
