Before the year 2000, people in Hull and East Yorkshire really didn’t need a timetable to work out how to get to London. The daily train left Hull at 0700 and returned from King’s Cross at 1720. The service, pared back over the years by British Rail, served to reinforce Hull’s undeserved reputation as the buffer stops at the end of a very long siding.
