It was located just east of where it crossed both the WCML[6] and what is now the A573, at the northern edge of the town.

The station then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

In 1922, five "down" (towards St Helens) trains called at the station on Mondays to Saturdays.

They called at all stations from Manchester Central to St Helens via Glazebrook and Culcheth.

Among other things, this suggests that Sunday services ran until 1914 but had ceased by 1922, never to return.
