The station has very limited facilities. There is a shelter on each platform, but no other permanent buildings. A public telephone is provided on platform 1 along with timetable posters to offer train running information. Platform 2 is accessible only by a barrow crossing at the west end of the station, but step-free access is available from the main entrance onto platform 1.[1] The disused signal box has now been knocked down and levelled off.

Service

edit

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Northern Trains ran an hourly service Monday-Saturday in both direction calling here between Doncaster and Scunthorpe. With no service on a Sunday.[2]

Currently, that has been reduced to every 2 hours, again with no services on a Sunday. One TransPennine Express service between Cleethorpes and Liverpool Lime Street each way also stops here, early morning westbound and late evening eastbound.[3]

In February 2013 the line northeast of Hatfield and Stainforth station towards Thorne was blocked by the Hatfield Colliery landslip, with all services over the section halted. The line reopened in July 2013.
