Facilities The station is staffed part-time, covering approximately 'shop hours'. Facilities include a waiting room, ticket office, lost property and car park. Wheelchair access is not complete due to a bridge to platform 4 (for Scarborough), meaning access to that platform is via a barrow crossing on the track which may require staff assistance. A revamped footbridge with lifts is due for completion by summer 2023. A ticket-vending machine was installed on 26 January 2011, near to the Council Information Point inside the concourse. Other parts of the building unused by the railway are now used for local interest groups – the parcel office is now an arts centre run by MIND mental health charity, and other parts of the building are used by Bridlington Model Railway Society. A Selecta Vending Machine is also available on platform 5.

In general the stopping pattern of the hourly Sheffield service is Bridlington, Driffield, Beverley, Cottingham, Hull, Brough, Goole, Doncaster, Meadowhall and Sheffield. Northbound, there is now a basic hourly service to Scarborough all day (until 20:00) since the May 2019 timetable change. This is an improvement on the nine per day each way frequency that formerly operated. On Sundays trains operate hourly to Hull and Scarborough from mid-morning throughout the year (rather than in summer only as before), with most of the Hull trains continuing to Sheffield via Doncaster. The new Sunday service is the first all year, all line, Sunday train service since at least 1958. The local Community Rail Partnership is hoping that service improvements, such
