Monday to Saturdays, there is generally an hourly service from Shirebrook eastbound towards Worksop and southbound to Mansfield and Nottingham.A Sunday service with four trains in each direction between Nottingham and Worksop was introduced in December 2008.
The line and the station were built by the Midland Railway. It was renamed Shirebrook West, because eventually Shirebrook had three stations, the others being Shirebrook North built by the LD&ECR in 1897 and Shirebrook South on the line to Pleasley.
