The station is 11.5 miles (19 km) north of Grantham on the Nottingham to Skegness Line.

There is a working signal box at the west end of the station, but the station itself is unstaffed and offers limited facilities other than two shelters, bicycle storage, timetables and modern help points.

The station then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

East Midlands Railway operate four services in each direction.

A normal service operates on most bank holidays.
