The station was built with two flanking platforms with the main station building on the Sheffield-bound side at the top of a long approach road. The Grimsby-bound platform had a simple waiting shelter and the platforms were linked by a latticed footbridge. The footbridge and Grimsby bound platform have since been removed and the route reduced to a single track at this point.
All services at Kirton Lindsey are operated by Northern. The station was served by three trains per day in each direction between Sheffield and Cleethorpes which ran on Saturdays only. However these have been suspended since the COVID-19 lockdowns.[2]
Weekday services have not called here since October 1993, when British Rail withdrew them at the end of the summer timetable that year.[3]
The local council, however, is campaigning to increase this to an hourly service in each direction.[4]
