The platforms were originally aligned as to serve the outer lines only when the railway was quadrupled early in the 20th century,[2] but following the removal of the outer lines in the early 1970s by British Rail, they were extended out to meet the surviving centre tracks.

[3] Timetable posters, passenger information screens and a telephone provide train running details.

The station has the same service level as neighbouring Ferriby i.e. hourly in each direction on weekdays (with extras at peak times) to Hull and Doncaster.

A limited number of trains to/from York call at peak periods.

There is now an hourly service on Sundays each way from mid-morning – an improvement on the limited one offered in years past.
