History

Opened by the Ulverston and Lancaster Railway, part of the Furness Railway , it became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The station then passed on 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.

ervices

It is primarily served by regional express services operated by First TransPennine Express from Manchester to Barrow. Additionally, local services are operated by Northern Rail from Lancaster to Barrow, with some continuing to Sellafield or Carlisle via the Cumbrian Coast Line. There is one train per hour in each direction on weekdays, although the varying nature of the stopping patterns of each service means the timetable isn't regular. On Sundays there is a train every two hours each way.
