Services
The line through Masborough survives, and is used by fast passenger trains to bypass Rotherham Central station (which as a result is served only by local services) and for freight trains travelling on the direct line to Chesterfield, known as "The Old Road".
Currently the station has a half-hourly service on weekdays to Doncaster (with most trains continuing on to either Scunthorpe or Adwick) and hourly to Wakefield and Leeds, along with three trains per hour to Meadowhall and Sheffield (one of which continues to Retford and Lincoln). The twice-daily service to York via the Dearne Valley Line also calls here.
Sundays see an hourly service to Doncaster, a train every two hours to Leeds and either one or two trains per hour to Sheffield.

—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
