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
The station does not have a car park, but cars may be parked along the road but the station has a section of bike stands. Apart from the signaller, the station is unstaffed and all tickets must be purchased using the platform ticket vending machine.[4] Step-free access is available to both platforms via the level crossing, with customer information screens and a long-line public address system for train running information.
