Cattal is at the western end of a dual track section from Hammerton. Trains heading east towards York are timetabled to arrive first on the dual track section, in order to clear the single-track line heading west towards Harrogate.[1][2] The level crossing here still has manually-operated metal gates and a ground-level signal box.[3] The station buildings are now privately owned.
In 2022-2023 the most popular origin/destination station from Cattal was York with 24,076 journeys to/from York (37.4% of all journeys).
Facilities
editThe station has a modest car park of 22 spaces and has a section of bike stands. Apart from the signaller, the station is unstaffed and all tickets must be purchased on the train.[4] Step-free access is available to both platforms, with digital information screens and a long-line P.A system for train running information provision.
