During Monday to Saturday daytimes services run to/from Leeds twice per hour and hourly to Bradford, whilst there are three services every hour to Ilkley. One extra service each way runs to/from Bradford and Ilkley at peak times. During Monday to Saturday evenings and all day on Sundays, services are hourly to/from both Leeds and Bradford Forster Square (service to/from the latter was doubled on Sundays from two-hourly at the December 2017 timetable change), with two departures per hour to Ilkley.[5] The station has a small car park, but no other amenities. Since electrification of the Wharfedale Line most services are operated by British Rail Class 333 Electric Multiple Units.[6]
