The platform surface was of gravel and the station opened on 28 August 1902 and closed, along with the others on the line, on 6 April 1929. The line was controlled by two standard H&B style signal boxes named "Hickleton Station" and "Hickleton Colliery".

Only stopping services call at the station. It was opened as a new station on 16 May 1988. The station was built by British Rail. Although the line passed through the three settlements of Thurnscoe, neighbouring Goldthorpe and Bolton-on-Dearne, the Swinton & Knottingley Joint railway originally provided only two stations for the area, at Bolton-on-Dearne and at Frickley. Until 1961 the station was called Bolton on Dearne for Goldthorpe and was served by Sheffield-York stopping services. By the late 1980s the low demand for York-bound passengers meant that only a handful of stopping trains used the line. South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive, responding to increasing demand for Sheffield-Leeds passengers in the area, and a lack of capacity on the Sheffield-Barnsley-Leeds line, sponsored an hourly service via Bolton and opened new stations at Goldthorpe and Thurnscoe.
