Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service from Littleborough to Manchester Victoria westbound and to Todmorden eastbound, with trains running alternately to Leeds via Dewsbury and to Blackburn via Burnley Manchester Road (the latter beginning at the May 2015 timetable change). Westbound trains continue beyond Manchester via Atherton to Headbolt Lane via Wigan Wallgate (since the May 2018 timetable change).

In the early morning, late evening and on Sundays, trains to Leeds operate via Halifax rather than Dewsbury. Sunday services run hourly each way to Blackburn and Leeds and twice each hour to Manchester. [3]
