The "Up" service was similar.
Future In 2019, councillors called for this station to be reopened.
In 2026, Sir Lindsay Hoyle reported that Network Rail had agreed to undertake a timetable analysis to assess which existing rail services could potentially call at a reopened Coppull station and what service pattern could be accommodated. The study was funded by Chorley Council. Hoyle stated that the analysis did not constitute approval for the station to be reopened, but described it as an initial step towards assessing its feasibility.
