Although my brother lives there I've usually driven to Hull so I'd not got off a train at its station before this year, when I stopped off at Hull on my way back south from Scotland.

The front of the station is at its east end, and has a covered area wrapping the station building:

At the south end of the station's frontage is the old ticket hall, with its wooden pannelling:

The northern side of the station opens into a bus station, just beyond this wooden building providing a small shop:
