[edit] Services
Monday to Saturday daytimes, there is an half-hourly service from Todmorden to Manchester Victoria (occasionally extending to Liverpool) westbound and Leeds via Halifax eastbound. With an hourly service each way on evenings and Sundays.
[edit] Future plans from December 2008
Northern Rail have proposed changes to the Caldervale line services from December 2008. Three trains per hour will run between Leeds and Manchester Victoria - one will be the current stopping service, one will go via Dewsbury and Brighouse, and include stops at Moston, Mills Hill and Castleton, and one will be a limited stop service - between Bradford and Manchester the service will only call at Halifax, Hebden Bridge, Todmorden and Rochdale.

Also on platform 1 is the Platform 1 Gallery, an art gallery run by Todmorden art group, which has regular exhibitions, as well as selling hand made gifts, and other art work including hand crafted teddy bears. There is also a small library, and a herb garden. There is a new [Todmorden Station Partnership group] [2] who help look after the station, and stage events.
