In July 1922 16 "Up" (southbound) trains called at the station on weekdays, with an extra on Saturday evenings.
Please note that 'Motor Cars' then did not have their modern meaning, but consisted of a single railway coach joined to a dedicated steam locomotive.
Of the nine trains five continued past Rainford Junction, all stations to St Helens.
As was often the case with such local services, these trains acquired a nickname – "The Skem Dodger".
[5] All local trains plying between Ormskirk and St Helens called at Rainford Junction, entailing a reverse.
