Facilities
The station consists of a single concrete island platform located between the inner 'fast' lines on the quad track section of route between Marshgate Junction, Doncaster and Thorne Junction. It is unstaffed and has no ticket machine, so all tickets must be bought on board the train or prior to travel. A single waiting shelter is the only structure on the platform apart from bench seating, timetable posters and customer information screens. Both platforms are fully accessible by means of a long inclined ramp from the main entrance on the road above.[1]
Service
The station provides an hourly service eastbound to Scunthorpe and Hull during the daytime Monday through Saturday. Westbound service comprises two trains per hour to Doncaster.[2] There are no longer any regular services to Meadowhall and Sheffield since the spring 2019 timetable change apart from a single late evening working. Passengers must change at Doncaster for onward connections.
An hourly service towards Hull and to Doncaster is provided on Sundays.
TransPennine Express serves the station with a single eastbound Monday-Saturday service to Cleethorpes in the late evening. There is no return service westbound.
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.
