The operation of the line came under the jurisdiction of the station master at Kilnhurst Central.
In 1959 at the request of the local Working Men's Clubs at Thrybergh a short platform, about 75 feet (23 m) in length, was built near the Park Lane bridge on the G.C.& M.J.R.
The first train to use the platform ran on 17 June 1959 taking over 1300 people from Silverwood Miners' Welfare Club to Bridlington.
It did not appear in the railway timetables, the trains which used the platform were shown in "Special Traffic Notices".
The last trains to use the platform did so in the mid-1960s when it effectively closed around 1968 although it remained in situ until early 1972.
