Proposed Melton Parkway Interchange
Introduction
A partnership between East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Hull & East Yorkshire (HEY) LEP, Network Rail, National Highways and Wykeland Group have developed outline plans to create a new transport interchange located at Melton on the rail network between the existing stations of Brough and Ferriby
The existing rail stations of Ferriby and Brough experience significant capacity issues at peak times, with wider connectivity issues to the road network rendering access difficult whereas the new 'Melton Interchange' will have direct access off the A63 and deliver:
- Eastbound and westbound platforms located to the north and south of the existing Hull to Leeds/Doncaster railway line. The platforms will be approximately 130m in length and suitable to accommodate 5-car trains, with the scope for the platforms to be extended by 130m to the east to accommodate 10-car trains in the future.
- A car park with 497 spaces located to the north of the proposed eastbound platform, including 15 disabled spaces, 18 EV charging spaces and 16 car share spaces (with passive EV charging provision). The standard spaces will measure 2.5m x 4.8m to ensure that they are suitable to accommodate larger cars and provide a higher level of comfort. The car park will also include 7 motorcycle parking spaces and a taxi rank suitable to accommodate up to 6 taxis.
- Bus interchange with two bus stops to accommodate both scheduled bus services and potential shuttle services to/from local businesses, along with rail replacement services when required.
- A drop-off loop to accommodate car drop-offs and pick-ups.
- Pedestrian and cycle access via the proposed access road connecting with Brickyard Lane, and a pedestrian access via the Public Right of Way (PRoW) footpath running to the east of the station.
- Covered and secure cycle parking in a convenient location near to the platform entrance.
- The provision of a Network Rail Standard Beacon Enclosed Bridge (with lifts) connecting the two platforms to provide full step-free access.
- Active travel links to local population centres.
At this early stage, the project offers high value for money and this together with the increased potential of future funding opportunities arising from the now cancelled northern leg of HS2, has encouraged partners to progress the project to an ‘investment ready’ stage. This will ensure the region has the best chance to secure funding when opportunities arise via the Government’s ‘Network North’ initiative.
This consultation will seek to establish if the principle of a new transport interchange is supported at this location. The views of the local and regional population and businesses and the existing users of Brough and Ferriby Station need to be gathered and understood as this will feed into further timetable analysis and business case development. Further consultation will be carried out as plans are progressed.
