Notes: The original Kenyon Junction to Bolton Great Moor Street opened in stages between 1828 and 1831 had included two steeply graded inclines that had originally been worked with rope and stationary engines.

By the mid 1840s locomotives were able to tackle the inclines but they still made for challenging obstacles. In the 1880s the LNWR decided to realign the line to avoid the gradients one of which was at Daubhill. This required the building of a new station. The new station was initially also called Daubhill but this was short lived being renamed Rumworth & Daubhill on 28.4.1885.

The station was provided with two platforms connected to the street by steps. The station was served by trains running between Great Moor Street and points to the west of Kenyon Junction. By the 1930's over 20 trains per day operated.

By the 1950's traffic levels had dwindled to six services running between Bolton and Kenyon Junction or Warrington. Rumworth & Daubhill closed in 1952, two years before all regular passenger services along the line ceased in 1954.
