[1] An earlier wooden halt, Bentley Crossing, built by the West Riding and Grimsby Railway, had previously existed at the same location but was closed by 1943.

The station is unstaffed and has recently (April 2018) been equipped with a ticket vending machine at the entrance to the car park adjacent to the north-bound platform 2.

This machine however only accepts card payments so also issues promise-to-pay notices for exchange on the train, as well as advertising the availability of e-ticketing via the Northern mobile app.

There are waiting shelters, digital CIS displays and timetable poster boards on both platforms; train running information is also available by telephone.

One southbound service continues to Meadowhall and Sheffield (Mon – Sat daytimes only), whilst one per hour northbound runs to Wakefield Westgate and Leeds.
