The station was more substantial until the mid-1970s, with the westbound platform being an island, a subway linking the platforms and wooden buildings and canopies on each side (the platforms were also located slightly further east than now).[1] There was also a signal box - this was abolished when the line was resignalled in the early 1980s.
The other station in the town is Thorne North, which is served by trains towards Hull.
