Hatfield and Stainforth railway station serves the Doncaster suburbs of Hatfield and Stainforth in South Yorkshire, England. It is located 6 3⁄4 miles (10.9 km) north east of the main Doncaster station.
The original station, known until the 1990s as "Stainforth and Hatfield" and was built in 1866 as a replacement for the South Yorkshire Railway's Stainforth when their line was brought to its present alignment. The station was renamed Hatfield and Stainforth in the 1990s when it was considered that Hatfield was the larger of the two and had the larger population.
The Doncaster Core Strategy includes support for "refurbishment of the railway station and the creation of a rail/bus/park and ride interchange".
The station is unstaffed and has no ticket machine, so all tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. There are no substantial buildings remaining on the platforms other than standard waiting shelters and the fully accessible footbridge linking them to the station entrance and car park. The former station building adjacent to the entrance is still standing - the single customer help point is located on one of its outer walls. Train running information is provided by digital information screens and timetable posters.
Monday to Saturdays there is generally a train every 30 minutes to Doncaster westbound and hourly to Hull and Scunthorpe eastbound. Alternate westbound trains continue through to Meadowhall and Sheffield.
Sundays there is a service every two hours to Doncaster and Sheffield westbound and to Goole eastbound.
