LMS was nationalised on 1 January 1948 and operations on the line were vested in British Railways' London Midland Region (LMR).

In January 1956, the service to Dunham Massey was eight trains in each direction, with the fare for the eleven miles single journey to Manchester being 1s 7d (8p).

In July 1922, the LNWR operated fifteen passenger trains in each direction on weekdays, with eleven of these serving the full length of the line between Liverpool and Manchester.

The station building survives in use as a domestic dwelling and the trackbed forms part of the Trans Pennine Trail.
