The station is served by Northern Rail local services, which operate as a regular Lancaster-Morecambe shuttle.

Additionally, there is a limited service to Heysham, connecting with the ferry to the Isle of Man. Trains for Heysham must reverse at Morecambe.
In addition, the last train each weekday evening is a Transpennine Express service from Manchester Airport, which diverts from its usual route to Barrow-in-Furness. This service calls at Lancaster, Bare Lane and Morecambe, before reversing, calling at Bare Lane again, then rejoining the West Coast Main Line and continuing via Carnforth.
