The station was opened in 1848 on the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway. It is a Grade II listed building, which once boasted an overall roof. It became derelict after closure in 1995. The redundant signal box was reinstated at Quorn on the Great Central Railway.
Restoration of the station buildings took place between 2015 and 2018 after the intervention of the organisers of the Market Rasen Station Community Project, who made a successful grant application towards refurbishment. It now has a café, community rooms and a heritage centre with a display. East Midlands Trains today run a somewhat sparse passenger service between Lincoln and Grimsby on this former GCR and LNER route.
