The station replaced the original and was built to its north, on the opposite side of the bridge which takes the road to Mexborough below the line.

The main station building was at road level and this contained the booking office, parcels office and stationmaster's room.

Access to the platforms was by a path and subway from the booking office.

Train services ran to Sheffield Midland, Leeds City via Cudworth along the North Midland route and Doncaster on the original South Yorkshire Railway route.
