Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is an half-hourly service from Littleborough to Manchester Victoria westbound and Leeds via Halifax eastbound. There is an hourly service each way on evenings and Sundays.

Future plans from December 2008

Northern Rail have proposed changes to the Caldervale line services from December 2008. Three trains per hour will run between Leeds and Manchester Victoria - one will be the current stopping service, one will go via Dewsbury and Brighouse, and include stops at Moston, Mills Hill and Castleton, and one will be a limited stop service - between Bradford and Manchester the service will only call at Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Rochdale.
