History


Opened by the Blackpool and Lytham Railway, then absorbed by the Preston and Wyre Joint Railway, the station joined the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
When Sectorisation was introduced in the 1980s, the station was served by Regional Railways
until the Privatisation of British Railways.
The station was set out as an island platform with tracks on both faces until the singling of the line in 1986. Trains now only use the southern face. A disabled access ramp now covers the northern part of the station.




Services


There is a basic hourly service in each direction Monday to Saturday, to Blackpool South and to Preston and Colne (though weekday trains are not advertised as running beyond Preston).
Sunday services also operate hourly each way.
