It is managed by Northern Trains and served by its trains on the Barton line between Cleethorpes and Barton-on-Humber.

The station layout is somewhat unusual in that all passenger trains use a single platform, even though the station is located on a double track line. There are junctions at either end of the station, as the branch line from Habrough to Barton-on-Humber meets and then diverges from the busy freight-only line from Brocklesby to Immingham Dock. These junctions, and the adjacent level crossing were controlled from Ulceby Junction signal box at the southern end of the station, however this was demolished in January 2016 when the crossing and signals were automated. The station originally had two platforms but this was altered to a single wooden platform when the line was resignalled in the 1980s.

Services

The station has a two-hourly service in each direction on weekdays.[1] It is operated by a Class 153 "Super Sprinter".[2] The Sunday service is limited to the summer months only (May - early September) and four trips each way.
