[3] The station was situated just north of where the line passed over Helmshore Road on a level crossing, a few hundred yards south of the town centre.

The signal box was located just south of Helmshore Road on the eastern side of the line and the signalman also operated the level crossing gates.

A footbridge linked the south end of the platforms and allowed the public to cross the line whilst the gates were shut for trains to pass.

The July 1922 timetable shows that the LYR operated 17 northbound and 18 southbound passenger trains that stopped at Helmshore each weekday.

Today, Station Road occupies part of the abandoned railway track north of the level crossing.
