It lies on the Manchester-Preston Line and is served by Northern Trains, who run express trains from Manchester Airport to Blackpool North. Despite its high passenger usage and the recent refurbishment (see below) the station is currently unstaffed. A drop in passenger usage in the year 2017/18 is largely due to industrial action and engineering works with the drop in the year 2020/21 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced timetable.
