There are platforms at both crossing lines and at the Hemboog; for the latter there is a separate entrance on another side of the station square.

From there, one could travel to Haarlem; the line to Zaandam took a more northeasterly route via the Hembrug.

In 1983, the line to Zaandam was rerouted via the Hemtunnel, and the current station was opened, initially with the name Sloterdijk Noord.

On the south-west side of the crossing and beside the station square runs the Hemboog chord, connecting Schiphol and Amsterdam Lelylaan to Zaandam.

The tram service departs from the ground floor bus station which opened in December 2010, known as the Carrascoplein.
