The station is situated on the electrifiedLiverpool–Wigan line16+1⁄4 miles (26.2 km) northeast ofLiverpool Lime Street and3+3⁄4 miles (6.0 km) south of Wigan. The station, and all trains serving it, are operated byNorthern Trains.

The station is the only unstaffed one on theHuyton-to-Wigan line, being outside theMerseytravel area (but within that ofTransport for Greater Manchester). Ticket machines have recently been installed on both platforms. The old station buildings shown in the caption have since been demolished and were replaced by basic waiting shelters.^[1] Digital display screens and timetable poster boards on each side provide train running information. Step-free access is provided only on the Wigan-bound platform.^[2]

Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is a half-hourly service toWigan North Western northbound andLiverpool Lime Street southbound. Evenings there is an hourly service in each direction.^[3]

From 10 December 2017 there has been an hourly service on Sundays, toBlackpool North northbound and Liverpool Lime Street southbound for the first time in many years.^[4]

The station was opened on 1 December 1869 by theLancashire Union Railway on its route betweenSt Helens andBlackburn via Wigan andChorley. The line beyond Wigan was closed to passengers in January 1960 and completely in 1971.

TheLiverpool-to-Manchester line electrification also encompasses the entire Liverpool-to-Wigan route.^[5] This allows electric trains to operate from Bryn to Liverpool, St Helens and Wigan. Electrification was completed in May 2015.^[6]
