The station is on the Selby Line 14+1⁄2 miles (23.3 km) west of Hull.

From October 1861 to November 1872 the station was not served by timetabled passenger trains.

A full service was introduced by the North Eastern Railway in October 1907.

[3] The station is an unstaffed halt with only basic shelters and timetable poster boards on offer.

Step-free access is available to both platforms via ramps, but this is via the adjacent level crossing and so care is advised when using it.
