The line, promoted by the Denaby and Cadeby Colliery Company, was operated by the Hull and Barnsley Railway and connected at Wrangbrook with its main line between Cudworth, near Barnsley, and Hull.

The station was a wooden structure and its facilities included a locomotive shed to house the branch tank locomotive. This was destroyed by fire.

Originally there was no connection with the M.S.& L. R. line, this was not put in place until Great Central days, opening on 13 July 1908 in order for that company to reach Brodsworth Colliery.

The next station northwards was Sprotborough (H&B) railway halt.

The station closed on 2 February 1903 when passenger services were withdrawn.
