The early Spring flowers and bulbs at the station are really worth a visit, 'nature is balm to the soul.' The Daffs planted at the station entrance are doing really well, kindly funded and planted 4 years ago by Phil, Hunmanby's Voluntary Crown Green Bowling Greenkeeper for many years.

Many thanks to the 30 village volunteer who deliver the Hunmanby Timetable & Event guide door to door to 1,500 homes in the village, twice a year. Over the last 2 decades 100's of people have helped in many ways to make the railway station an attractive 'gateway' to Hunmanby. Last year this was reflected in Yorkshire in Bloom Gold awarding Hunmanby station a Gold Award. The certificate is now displayed at the station entrance.

Thanks to Damien for the photos of the autumn/winter Rail Head Treatment Train at Hunmanby. This year using 2 x Class 37 diesel locomotives operated by Colas Rail Freight. These distinctive locomotives where built 60 years ago by English Electric, at the former Vulcan Foundry, in Newton-le Willow. Affectionately called 'Tractors' due to the distinctive sound of their engines, which resembles the noise of a tractor, especially on the climb from Hunmanby to Speeton.
