This portion of the route did not prove profitable, and the single daily return passenger service was withdrawn by the Maryport and Carlisle Railway in 1921.

A private siding for the nearby plastics factory remains in place, but this has been disused for a number of years.

In December 2018, the Victorian-era footbridge connecting the platforms was deemed unsafe by Network Rail, and access to it was prohibited.

Step-free access is available to each platform, whilst train running information is provided by display screens, telephone and timetable posters.

Following the May 2021 timetable change, the station is served by an hourly service between Carlisle and Barrow-in-Furness, with some trains continuing to Lancaster.
