The Skegness-bound platform had classic Great Northern Railway architecture buildings, which have since been replaced with plastic shelters.

The station frontage remains, albeit altered in a partially reconstructed manner, and some of the buildings have found new uses.

Boston station was once an important junction, with two lines diverging in either direction.

Both surviving routes are single line, with a passing loop at the station.

The station is served by an hourly service westbound to Nottingham, via Grantham, and eastbound to Skegness.
