Although it was a key node in the North Eastern Railways network the station never had more than two platforms. Since the 1970s it has had only one, where all trains to and from Leeds reverse. Work is underway to reopen the second platform, with a new footbridge and lifts. The brick edge of the old platform Image is being replaced with a concrete wall.
