The May 2018 timetable change has seen a major upgrade of services here. TransPennine Express now operate an hourly fast Liverpool to via Manchester Victoria, and York that calls here (introduced as part of the new TPE franchise agreement), whilst Northern's service between Liverpool and now runs to and calls at all intermediate stations between Liverpool and the Airport. At peak times there is also a limited local service to Manchester Victoria and a single evening train to via the Parkside West curve (a balancing service from there runs in the morning).
