Facilities

The station is a small, two-platform station, with the only on-site services being a ticket office. Outside of these times, tickets must be purchased on the train or prior to travel. There is a waiting room on the southbound platform and a waiting shelter on the northbound side. Train running details are provided by telephone and timetable posters.[2]

Disabled access to the station is limited, with wheelchair provision only being made for the Huddersfield to Manchester platform.[3][4] As the Manchester to Huddersfield platform is accessible through a single staircase, disabled passengers often find it easier to travel on to Huddersfield and then disembark at Mossley on the opposite platform when the train makes its return journey.

Its walls are decorated with an art piece called "The Northern Lights".^{[citation needed]}

Services

From the May 2018 timetable change, TransPennine Express became the main operator serving the station instead of Northern. TransPennine Express provide an hourly express service (including Sundays) to Huddersfield, Leeds & Hull eastbound and to Stalybridge & Manchester Piccadilly westbound.[5] Passengers wishing to travel to Manchester Victoria and points west must change at Stalybridge.
