The station was served by local trains on what is now known as the West Coast Main Line.

It closed briefly during WW1 and was renamed as Rockcliffe Halt in 1950 when regular passenger service ceased after which it was only used by railway workers at the nearby marshalling yards until 1965.

[2] The station had a stationmaster's house, with combined ticket office and a waiting room.

Trains pass through the site at speed on the electrified West Coast Main Line.

The station platforms have been demolished and the pedestrian overbridge has been removed; however, the stationmaster's house remains as a private dwelling.
