Thorne North is one of two stations for the town, the other beingThorne South station, 1.3 miles away on the opposite side of the town which is used for services eastward towardsScunthorpe.
The station opened on 2 August 1869 as part of theNorth Eastern Railway'sHull and Doncaster Branch.[1] It was initially called Thorne, as was the other station in Thorne, which was part of theGreat Central Railway. Following the passing of theGrouping Act in 1921, both stations became part of theLondon and North Eastern Railway, and to avoid confusion, this station became Thorne North while the Great Central station became Thorne South, with both being renamed on 1 July 1923.[2]
In February 2013 the line northeast ofHatfield and Stainforth station towards Thorne was blocked by theHatfield Colliery landslip, with all services over the section halted. The line reopened in July 2013.[3]
In February 2014 the station was accredited with Secure Station status from theSecure Stations Scheme for providing a safe environment for both passengers and staff.[4]

Waiting shelters are provided on each platform and there are toilets in the main building that open at the same times as the ticket office. Digital display screens and timetable posters provide train running information. A footbridge links the platforms, but step-free access to both is available (to the southbound platform at all times, to the northbound via abarrow crossing that is only open when the station is staffed).[5]
