The station has seen its daytime service cut significantly at the winter 2019 timetable change, as the York to Blackpool service no longer calls here on weekdays. There are now two trains per hour each way, both running to Leeds eastbound (one via Bradford, the other via Brighouse) and Manchester Victoria westbound; the latter then continue to either Chester or Wigan Wallgate. [6]

On Sundays, the Leeds to Chester via Manchester Victoria and York to Blackpool North trains both call hourly.
