It is located 6+3⁄4 miles (10.9 km) north east of the main Doncaster station.

The Doncaster Core Strategy includes support for "refurbishment of the railway station and the creation of a rail/bus/park and ride interchange".

There are no substantial buildings remaining on the platforms other than standard waiting shelters and the fully accessible footbridge linking them to the station entrance and car park.

The former station building adjacent to the entrance is still standing - the single customer help point is located on one of its outer walls.

This service runs towards Liverpool in the early morning and towards Cleethorpes in the late evening.
