The station was served by local trains between Huddersfield, Stalybridge and Manchester throughout its life, although from 1968 (when many other local stations in the area closed) these mainly called during the weekday peaks.
Later history and closure
Latterly only a handful of trains served the station and usage had declined to the point where it was decided that it was no longer economically viable to keep it open—as a result it closed on 27 May 1995.[3] The overgrown platforms are still visible from passing trains.
