Facilities

The station has two platforms connected by a ramped footbridge over the line, which opened in the summer of 2014. Before the footbridge was built, the platforms were linked by a surface crossing.^[1]

The station house has been converted for private use – a private dwelling and an office. The station is now unstaffed; tickets must be obtained from the ticket machine on the Lincoln platform or bought online.^[2]

Facilities are limited to shelters on each platform and a help point and departure board for passenger enquiries and information about oncoming trains. There is bicycle storage and a small car park.^[3]
