Services
The station is served by seven trains in each direction on weekdays and Saturdays - northbound to Carlisle and southbound to Leeds. A new early morning SX service southbound began in May 2011. The first weekday northbound service now runs through from Leeds rather than arriving from Carlisle and returning there after a reversal as before. There are four departures each way on Sundays throughout the year (including one afternoon express service to Nottingham introduced at the December 2012 timetable change). DalesRail services between Blackpool North/Preston and Carlisle also call at the station on summer Sundays.
