It serves the Lockwood district of Huddersfield, and services are provided by Northern.

To the south of the station, the line to Sheffield passes over the valley of the River Holme by an impressive 476 yards (435 m) long stone viaduct to Berry Brow.

Below the 122 feet (37 m) high structure is the Huddersfield Rugby Union Club ground at Lockwood Park, which was formerly a Bass Brewery.

To the north, the route passes through a short tunnel then crosses another large viaduct across the River Colne before joining the main line at Springwood Junction.

There is an hourly service in both directions on Monday to Saturdays and on Sundays also (though starting later in the morning).
