On Monday to Saturday Thorne South has an hourly daytime service from Sheffield and Doncaster to Scunthorpe, operated by Northern. There is no Sunday service.[1]
TransPennine Express serves the station with a single Monday-Saturday service in each direction. The westbound service runs to Manchester Airport (Sheffield on Saturdays) in the early morning, while the eastbound return service runs to Cleethorpes in the late evening.[2]
In February 2013 the line north-east of Hatfield and Stainforth station towards Thorne was blocked by the Hatfield Colliery landslip, with all services over the section halted. The line reopened in July 2013.
