The station is on the Robin Hood Line 4¾ miles (7 km) south west of Worksop towards Nottingham.

The station was designed by the Midland Railway company architect John Holloway Sanders.

From 1 October 1905, the MR took over all services and ran them all to Worksop, where passengers for Sheffield could change trains.

The station is adopted by Just Good Friends Club, a Local charity that offers services to adults with learning disabilities.

On weekdays and Saturdays, the station is generally served by a train every two hours northbound to Worksop and southbound to Nottingham via Mansfield Woodhouse.
