Facilities

The station is unstaffed, but as of 2019 has a ticket machine on the Manchester-bound platform for purchase of tickets on the day, and collection of advance purchase tickets. Like neighbouring Delamere, the main building still stands and has been converted for private use (in this case as an art gallery). Standard waiting shelters are provided on each platform, with train running information offered via CIS displays, timetable poster boards and a pay phone. Step-free access is officially only possible to the Manchester-bound platform[2] although there is a crossing at the western end of the platform which is frequently used.

Services

There is a basic hourly service each way on weekdays (with a few peak extras as far as Stockport) to Manchester Piccadilly & Chester and every two hours on Sundays. On Sundays, the northbound services are extended past Manchester Piccadilly to Southport.[3]
