Equipment handled by the siding included two triple expansion steam engines, three Lancashire boilers, the pumps for the four boreholes, and materials for construction of the buildings.

[3] Just to the east of the passenger station was Morton Siding, which served a small brick works, and was operational by 1899.

The bridge spanned the two running tracks and the southern siding, with the signal box now located to the east of the road.

[10] The goods station closed in 1963, and most of the infrastructure was subsequently removed, although a loading gauge was still evident to the north of the tracks in 1992[11] and 2021, and the site of the level crossing gate is now occupied by the equipment room for a hot axle box detector.

[1] In 2019, when Bassetlaw District Council were preparing their local plan, they looked at potential sites for a garden village development.

One of the two main contenders was at Morton, bordering the Worksop to Retford line and the site of the former Checker House station.

[16] The cost of providing a new station was estimated to be around £10 million, with predicted passenger revenues contributing between £105,000 and £450,000 per year.

Network Rail are keen to remove level crossings to reduce the risk of collisions, and thus improve safety.
