Facilities

The station is unstaffed, with a ticket machine and digital information screens installed as part of an ongoing upgrade process announced in 2016.[6] Level access is only possible for southbound travellers, as the northbound platform can only be reached by steps from the road bridge.[7]

Pennine Way

The Pennine Way, a long-distance path, crosses the railway a few hundred yards to the west of the station.

Services

Шаблон:Northern (train operating company) route 7 The service level from here in both directions was increased at the May 2018 timetable change, as a consequence of the 2015 Northern franchise award to Arriva Rail North.[8] The improvements included two additional trains each way on the Leeds - Lancaster route on weekdays and an extra train on Sundays - these began operating on 20 May 2018 with the start of the summer timetable.

In total there are now fourteen departures northbound (up from ten prior to May 2018) - eight to Lancaster and five to Carlisle, plus one evening train to Шаблон:Rws. Five of the Lancaster trains continue to Morecambe, but the daily direct Heysham train has now ceased. Southbound there are thirteen departures to Leeds, plus a single late evening departure to Skipton only (though this has a connection to Leeds from there).

Eight trains each way call on Sundays (five to Lancaster and Morecambe, three to Carlisle northbound).[9]
