in England.The station opened by British Rail on 29 September 1986.[1] It is located in the middle of a housing estate and forms an unofficial footpath between the two sides.[2] In March 2008 work began on a new car park for the station.[3]

Facilities
The station is unmanned and has basic amenities - waiting shelters and timetable posters on each platform, plus a telephone.

The timetable was affected by weekend engineering work south of Bolton (as part of the heavily delayed
