Station approach and level crossing

The station has a modest car park of 22 spaces and has a section of bike stands. Apart from the crossing keeper, the station is unstaffed and all tickets must be purchased on the train.[1] Step-free access is available to both platforms, with digital information screens and a long-line P.A system for train running information provision.

Cattal is at the western end of a dual track section from Hammerton. Eastbound trains are timetabled to arrive first on the dual track section, so as to clear the single line westwards towards Knaresborough.[2][3] The level crossing here still has manually-operated metal gates and a ground-level signal box.[4] The station buildings are now privately owned.

Services

Generally there is an hourly service to York eastbound and Leeds via Harrogate westbound. Some additional trains run at weekday peak times.
