The station was opened by theCheshire Lines Committee on 2 September 1873.^[1]

A new building on the Manchester-bound platform houses the ticket office and a waiting room. The main station building on the Liverpool-bound platform was disused for many years in the 1990s, but was re-opened as a pub/restaurant in June 2008. The station is staffed part-time (06:15 to 12:45 weekdays, 07:00 to 13:30 Saturdays, closed Sundays) - outside these times, tickets must be bought in advance or on the train. Train running details are provided by telephone, automated announcements and timetable posters. Step-free access is available to both platforms.^[2]

The TransPennine Express service runs betweenLiverpool Lime Street andCleethorpes and calls at Irlam, Birchwood, Warrington Central andLiverpool South Parkway westbound, whilst running through toManchester Piccadilly,Stockport,Sheffield andDoncaster eastbound. The stopping service runs between Lime Street and Manchester Oxford Road only, but there are additional trains at peak times (some of which start/terminate at Warrington Central).^[3]
