On the Ribble Valley Line, there is now a half-hourly service southbound to Manchester Victoria and hourly northbound to Clitheroe (with peak extras). An hourly service runs on Sundays, with one or two through DalesRail trains to in the summer. This service was extended, from mid-September, 2013, to cover Sundays throughout the remainder of the year - a pattern that continues as of March 2019 (though terminating at Hellifield, where connections are available for Carlisle). Additional services to/from Manchester Victoria and Clitheroe start or terminate here. From the December 2017 timetable change, the off-peak Monday to Saturday frequency over this route south of Blackburn has been improved to 2 trains per hour.
