Hull Paragon Interchange is a transport interchange providing rail, bus and coach services located in the city eye of Kingston upon Hull, England. The K.T. Andrews-designed station was originally named Paragon Station, and together with the adjoining Station Hotel, it opened in 1847 equally the new Hull terminus for the growing traffic of the York and North Midland (Y&NMR) leased to the Hull and Selby Railway (H&S).^[one] As well as trains to the w, the station was the terminus of the Y&NMR and H&S railway's Hull to Scarborough Line. From the 1860s the station also became the terminus of the Hull and Holderness and Hull and Hornsea railways.

At the beginning of the 20th century the North Eastern Railway (NER) expanded the trainshed and station to the designs of William Bell, installing the present v arched span platform roof. In 1962 a modernist part block Paragon House was installed higher up the station main entrance, replacing a 1900s atomic number 26 canopy; the offices were initially used equally regional headquarters for British Rail.

A omnibus station was erected adjacent to the n of the station in the mid 1930s. In the early on 2000s plans for an integrated bus and rail station were fabricated, every bit part of a larger development including a shopping centre; St Stephen's shopping middle, a hotel, housing, and music and theatre facilities. The new station, named "Paragon Interchange" opened in September 2007, integrating the city's railway and coach stations under William Bell's 1900s trainshed.

The station is currently operated past TransPennine Limited, which provides train services forth with Northern Trains, Hull Trains and London North Eastern Railway.

Paragon railway station [edit]

Background [edit]

In 1840 the Hull and Selby Railway opened the starting time railway line into Hull, terminating at a passenger and appurtenances terminal, Manor Business firm Street station, next to the Humber Dock, almost the onetime town. Later on, the Hull and Selby Railway entered into working arrangements with the Manchester and Leeds Railway and and so the York and North Midland Railway. In 1845 an Human action of Parliament enabled the York and Northward Midland and/or the Manchester and Leeds to take a charter of the company with an selection to buy the line at a afterward date – simply the York and North Midland was later agile. In 1846 the Hull and Selby completed its Bridlington branch which connected from a junction at Dairycoates nearly Hull to a line the York and North Midland was edifice from Bridlington to Seamer, connecting to its York to Scarborough Line, forming a railway route from Hull to Scarborough on the eastward coast.^[two]

Get-go railway station, hotel and branches (1848) [edit]

The original southern archway range (2014)

In 1846 the York and Northward Midland and Manchester and Leeds railways began proceedings to create a new terminal station and connecting branch line in Hull.^{[3] [4]} The York and North Midland (Hull Station) Act 1847 was after passed.^{[north 1]}

The new station had the reward of existence better situated for travellers, and allowed the old station to be used exclusively for freight traffic. In improver the Hull and Selby visitor were keen to concenter the investment in a new station from the leaseholders, as the capital investment was likely to increment the permanence of the relationship with the lessors.^{[half dozen]}

The branches to the station were constructed off the Bridlington branch: a branch turning north-east close to the line'due south crossing of the Hessle Road;^{[map ane] [7]} and a co-operative turning south-east at 'Cottingham Junction' most to Haverflatts farm;^{[map 2] [8]} the ii branches met at a junction 0.v miles (0.8 km) roughly westward of the new station.^[7] In add-on a new connecting chord was fabricated from the Hull and Selby Line,^{[map 3]} to the Bridlington co-operative,^{[map 4]} allowing direct through running from the west into the new station.^[9] The station was located on the western edge of the growing Georgian town, and took its name from "Paragon Street".^[x]

Construction contracts had been signed by early 1847, before the bill had been formally passed.^{[n 2]} The station opened in 1847 without any notable ceremony.^[11]

The station and hotel were both in the Italian Renaissance style, with both Doric and Ionic order elements; the facades show inspiration from the interior courtyard of the Palazzo Farnese. The master station building was aligned east–west, due south of the tracks, facing onto Anlaby Road – a two-storey centrally located booking hall was entered via a minor porte-cochère,^{[map five]} and flanked past eleven bay wide single storey wings, with two storey three bay buildings on either end, 1 a parcels office, the other the station principal's firm.^{[11] [12] [10]} The train shed contained five tracks and two platforms, each 30 feet (ix.ane k), covered with a 3 span iron roof.^{[map 6]} The station site was nearly ii.5 acres (i.0 ha).^{[n three] [11]}

The hotel was in a similar style to the station, located at the east finish of the station with its main façade and archway facing due east.^{[map seven]} It was completed in 1849 as a 3-storey building, 9 bays wide, of expanse 120 by 130 feet (37 by twoscore m). The centre of the edifice contained a 650 feet (200 grand) square lightwell with ground glass roof.^{[13] [12] [10]}

Architect for both buildings was G. T. Andrews, and correspond his last major commission. The station and hotel were described past some contemporaries as "Hudson'due south Folly", who thought the scale of the development as well slap-up;^[14] the station was the largest congenital in England to that fourth dimension associated with a railway station.^[10] By the time of completion of the station hotel George Hudson, chairman of the York and North Midland was in disgrace afterward his fraudulent dealings had been discovered.^[10] The hotel's official opening ceremony took place on 6 November 1851.^[eleven]

Additional facilities at the station also included a locomotive firm, on the west end of north side of the main shed;^{[map viii]} a coal depot to the northward-west;^{[map 9]} and a turntable.^[15] A new engine shed was constructed in the 1860s, and a 20 engine shed was constructed in the mid 1870s.^{[16] [n 4]}

In 1853 Queen Victoria visited the town, and the use of the station hotel given to the corporation for the adaptation of the royal party; a throne room was created on the showtime floor, and the royal household accommodated on the second. The imperial political party including the Queen, Albert, Prince Consort and 5 royal children arrived on the Regal Train on 13 October 1853 at Paragon Station. The visit concluded with a dinner at the hotel on 14 Oct.^[18]

NER menstruation (1854–1923) [edit]

The 1904 trainshed (2011)

In 1853 the Victoria Dock Co-operative Line had opened in Hull, connecting the Victoria Dock and a number of stations in Hull on a round route effectually the outskirts of the town; the line continued to the existing network at junctions 0.five miles (0.eight km) westward of the station.^{[nineteen] [twenty]} This line was doubled in mid 1864 and brought more trains into Paragon: from the Hull and Hornsea Railway (opened 1864); and from the Hull and Holderness Railway (opened 1854^[21]) via a connecting chord to the Victoria Dock Branch Line.^[22] Farther developments in the 1860s created boosted or shorted routes into Paragon; the York to Beverley Line was completed in 1865 with the opening of the Market place Weighton to Beverley section;^[23] the Hull and Doncaster Branch to due south Yorkshire in 1869;^[24] and the line to Leeds extension was completed, extending the line from Hull to Leeds to the city eye, and allowing through running due west.^[23]

Entrance hall and booking office, with inlaid "NER" mosaic flooring monogram (2013)

In 1873 the Manchester, Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway obtained running powers into Hull, and passenger trains from that visitor running to Paragon from Baronial.^[25] In 1898/9 the Hull and Barnsley Railway and the NER began work towards constructing a joint dock in Hull (run across Alexandra Dock); every bit part of this cooperation between the two companies the H&BR gave the NER running powers over its line in Hull, and the NER allowed the H&BR to come across and use Paragon station.^[26]

The growth of traffic was accommodated in the mid 1870s by adding a tertiary center platform to the trainshed; the outer platforms were also lengthened across the shed, and curt bay platforms added on either side. The cross platform was widened at the expense of the length of the primary platforms; the booking office and parcels offices swapped positions, and the center portico walled upward to create greater enclosed space.^{[27] [28] [29]} In 1884/5 the hotel was also expanded, adding room at first flooring level past extending westward across a concourse entrance.^[27] In 1887 a station canopy was added over the ends of the deviation (southside) platform that extended beyond the shed.^{[28] [n v]}

In addition to the standard facilities the increased emigration to the United States in the 19th century led to the construction of an emigrant station,^{[map eleven]} s-west of the main station, in function due to concerns over public health dangers, such as cholera; the station also enabled more efficient handling of the large numbers of emigrants. The station rooms were congenital in 1871 to the designs of Thomas Prosser, and extended 1881. Because of its historical significance the building is now form II listed.^{[30] [31] [32] [33]}

An extensive enlargement of the station was authorised by the NER board in 1897, every bit function of the extension programme the station's engine shed facilities were transferred to a new site at Botanic Gardens;^{[34] [16] [n half-dozen]} the transfer was complete by 1901, and in 1902 work began on the rebuilding of the station; the expansion of the site was northwards towards Colliers Street, and required purchases and demolition of houses due south of the street.^{[27] [28] [36]}

The principal station was enlarged to a pattern by NER architect William Bong. The extension included a new five span steel platform roof, with a two span roof over the concourse, built by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Co.,^{[map 6]} with the offices resited to the east end of the station, facing the station concourse, together with the adjacent Hotel. Half of the new office spaces was taken up by a tiled booking office, with wooden booking windows, and architectural detailing in faience.^{[map 12]} The booking office's main entrance faced Paragon Square (Ferensway) accessed under a large iron fabricated porte-cochère.^{[12] [37] [38] [map 13]} The enlarged station opened 12 December 1904.^[39] An boosted range of buildings was built c.  1908 to the s-eastward of the station, to provide stock rooms for the hotel.^{[40] [41] [map 14] [n vii]}

Equally built the station had nine platforms under the four southernmost spans of the roof; the northernmost span had facilities for special goods, such as cars and horses, and was screened off from the other iv;^[42] it was served past platform 1, known as the fish dock or fish platform, which was also used for fish.^[43] The southern bay platforms, and 1887 platform roof was retained for a full of xiv passenger platforms; platforms 1–9 also received depression level roofs outside the principal shed.^[44] The original station offices were retained and used equally waiting rooms and bundle offices.^[45]

In 1904 the station signalling arrangement was converted to an electro-pneumatic power signalling system – the station had two indicate boxes: Paragon Station box was a 143 lever box and was located at the terminate of platforms ane and 2;^{[map xv]} Park Street box, with 179 levers was located 714 feet (218 m) westward of the station.^{[46] [map 16]}

In World State of war I, the station hosted a Balance Station and Canteen for servicemen. ^[47]

On 5 March 1916 during a Start Earth War Zeppelin raid that killed 17, a bomb blast blew out the glass in the station roof.^[48]

LNER period (1923–1948) [edit]

From 1924 passenger trains running from the Hull and Barnsley Line became able to run into Paragon station with the structure of a connecting chord between the NER and H&BR networks in northward-west Hull.^{[map 17]} The H&BR's Cannon Street station airtight in the same year.^[49]

On xiv Feb 1927 it was the site of a head-on train collision (come across Hull Paragon rail accident) in which 12 passengers were killed and 24 seriously injured, caused by a signalling mistake.^{[50] [51]}

In 1931–32 the hotel was internally revamped, and expanded by the improver of an extra storey of rooms on the roof, replacing staff bedrooms; and by cement rendered fly on either side of the main entrance; an art deco entrance onto the station concourse was also added.^{[10] [52]} A railway museum was established past Hull Museums manager Thomas Sheppard in the station in 1933.^{[53] [54]}

In 1935 the conclusion was fabricated to resignal the station and approaches, replacing the 1904 electro-pneutmatic ability signalling system with an electrically operated system. "Park Street" and "Paragon station" signal boxes were to exist replaced with a single box; the running lines out of the station, including those controlled past the Due west Parade signal box,^{[map 18]} were to be track circuited.^{[46] [northward viii]} The system was an early on British example of electrical interlocking. 48 points were controlled, using pollex switches in the signal box.^[55] Power supply was from the Hull Corporation at 400 V fifty Hz three phase, with a backup generator powered by a 28 horsepower (21 kW) Petter oil-engine. The chief external arrangement was electrified at 110 V Ac, with shunt signals at 100 or 55 V Air-conditioning; the signal motors, previously electro-pneumatically operated were retained, with a 50 cubic anxiety (1.iv mⁱⁱⁱ) per hour 80 pounds per foursquare inch (550 kPa) max. pressure level compressor system, duplicated for redundancy.^[56] Signalling was electrical lamp backlit.^[57] The Westinghouse Brake and Indicate Company Ltd was the master supplier of the equipment.^[58] A new signal box was installed,^{[map 19]} a LNER type thirteen, resembling in architectural design the Southern Railway's Streamline Moderne betoken boxes, merely with square corners.^[59]

During the Hull Blitz of 1941 the station received straight hits on the night of 7 May, with many incendiary bombs hit the roof. The signal box was desperately damaged when a parachute mine exploded nearby^[60] during the same night the station'south modest railway museum was destroyed past burn.^[54]

The principal entrance canopy was replaced past an part building Paragon House in 1962.^{[12] [61] [map 13]} The building was originally used as a regional headquarters for British Track, but was unused in later years.^[62]

In 1965 the Newington branch which had been used past trains running from west of Hull to Bridlington and beyond was closed and replaced by a new chord near Victoria crossing.^{[map xx] [map 21] [63]} The roofs sheltering platforms one–9 outside the main shed were removed in the 1970s.^[64]

In the 1980s a new "travel center" (booking and data office) was added on the station concourse. The body of the building was faced with low-cal sandstone, with lighting via semicircular arched windows, and an approximately butt roofed skylight. In the same catamenia a clerestory roofed waiting room was added at the head of the station platforms, an architectural homage to both Victorian trainshed roofs and clerestory carriages.^[65]

Afterward the privatisation of British Transport Hotels in the 1980s the "Royal Station Hotel" was renamed Royal Hotel.^[62]

1930s Collier Street bus station (2004)

A double-decker station was built adjacent to Paragon station in 1935, at a cost of £55,000 on country freed by slum clearance.^[89]

A new bus station integrated with the main railway station was developed and constructed in the first decade of the 21st century. (see also §Paragon station mail privatisation.)

Hull Paragon Interchange opened on Lord's day xvi September 2007 combining rail and omnibus station services on a single site. The bus terminal has 38 bus and four bus stands, replacing a separate 'island' bus station;^{[71] [90]} the site of the quondam Hull Jitney Station, adjacent to the north of the railway station now forms part of the St Stephen's shopping centre.^[91] The bus ranks are located at the north of the station, in a "saw-tooth" arrangement. The entrance to the station is from Ferensway, and a reversing roundabout was provided at the west finish of the station.^{[92] [93]} The station has approximately 1,700 bus departures per twenty-four hour period (September 2010).^[93] The surface area under the northernmost span of the trainshed roof was converted into the concourse and queueing expanse for the bus station.^{[62] [map 22]}

Services [edit]

Motorcoach services [edit]

Jitney services run from the station to all areas of Hull, as well as to the Eastward Riding and Due north Lincolnshire and as far out as York, Leeds, Grimsby and Scunthorpe on some limited services. Nigh metropolis bus services are operated by Stagecoach E Midlands, whilst East Yorkshire Motor Services is the primary bus company for services to the East Riding. Services to N E Lincolnshire are operated past Stagecoach in Lincolnshire and Stagecoach Grimsby-Cleethorpes. Onetime smaller operators who used the Interchange included Alpha Charabanc and Coach^{[ citation needed ]} and CT Plus Yorkshire.^[94]

Rail services [edit]

Hull Paragon is managed by TransPennine Express, serving mainly its North TransPennine route too as multiple Northern Trains routes. Additional services are provided by Hull Trains and London N Eastern Railway.

TransPennine Express operates a Monday-Saturday service of one train per 60 minutes to and from Manchester Piccadilly via Leeds, and one early on morning train to Manchester Aerodrome per day. Direct services to and from Manchester are less frequent afterwards 7pm. In May 2017, a subsequently straight service to Manchester Piccadilly was introduced. On Sunday, a like service runs at a reduced frequency (approximately every one to two hours), starting later and finishing before, with no direct service to Manchester Airport.^{[95] [96] [97]} All services are operated by their Course 185 Desiros.

Northern Trains's weekday service consists of two trains per hour from Hull to Bridlington, made up of one semi-fast service and 1 stopping service, with one service per hour standing through to Scarborough. Northern also operates ane fast service per hour to Sheffield via Goole plus a second local stopping railroad train each hour to Doncaster and hourly to both York and Halifax via Leeds. At peak times at that place are additional services between Hull and Beverley, that stop at Cottingham. Weekend running is similar, but with reduced frequencies on some routes and all services finishing earlier. Most fast services from Sheffield call at Hull before standing to Scarborough, although some timetables bear witness these services as carve up rather than continuous.^[98] All services are typically operated by a mixture of Class 150 Sprinters, Form 155 Sprinters and Course 158 Express Sprinters.

Hull Trains operates a weekday service of 7 trains in each direction to London King's Cross. At weekends this service is reduced, with 6 trains on Saturday, and five on Lord's day. All the same, Lord's day services were exist increased to 6 trains in each direction from Dec 2017. Every day i train to London starts at Beverley progressing onto Hull in the early on morning, with one late dark railroad train from London terminating at Beverley after Hull.^{[99] [97]} All services are currently operated by Course 802 Paragons.

London Northward Eastern Railway operates i train per mean solar day Mon-Sabbatum in each direction between Hull and London King'south Cross, with the forenoon service parting Hull at 06:58 and the evening service arriving at 20:05 in Hull, from where it and so returns to Doncaster. On Sundays, there is no morning departure with but an evening arrival from London.^[100] Each service is operated by a Class 800 Azuma.

Naming [edit]

Early on architect's impression of the proposed station and hotel pattern (south façade)

The rail station is ordinarily known as "Paragon station", "Hull Paragon", or just "Hull station". National Rail refers to the station as "Hull" (HUL).

The name comes from the nearby "Paragon Street" which was itself built c.  1802;^[101] the proper noun dates back before – The Paragon Hotel public house, (at present the "Hull Cheese") gave its proper noun to the street, and dates dorsum as far as 1700.^[102]

The station was opened as "Hull Paragon Street" 8 May 1848 past the York and Due north Midland Railway;^[103] the NER used the name "Hull Paragon",^[103] however the 'Paragon' suffix was inconsistently used over ninety years from opening to 1948.^[104]

Since the British Railways period (1948) the officially used name has normally been "Hull", excluded the 'Paragon' suffix.^{[105] [n 9]}

The term "Hull (Paragon)" has also been used by Network Rail.^[106] Since redevelopment in 2007 the official name has been "Paragon Interchange"; even so as of 2012 timetables continued to use "Hull", except when referring to motorcoach services.^[105]

The hotel has been known as the "Station Hotel" or "Royal Station Hotel" from its early on history;^[107] after privatisation in the 1980s the owners renamed it "Royal Hotel".^[62] As of 2014, every bit part of the Mercure Hotels group the hotel's official name is the Mercure Hull Royal Hotel.^[108]

In popular civilization [edit]

The station has been used every bit a filming location in the film Clockwise,^[109] in an episode of Agatha Christie'south Poirot "The Plymouth Express"^[110] and in the one-act Only Fools and Horses – To Hull and Back.^[111]
