It is situated at the southern end of line adjacent to the former Boughton level crossing on the A5199.
It is likely that Boughton will be the terminus of the railway for some time as the former level crossing is now occupied by a roundabout.
It opened to passengers on Saturday 30 March 2024 after extensive construction work to create the platform and restoration of the signal box.
There is also a bay platform, accessed via a headshunt, where a carriage can be stabled for use as a buffet and ticket office.
Boughton Crossing is also the southern end of the Brampton Valley Way, part of which has been diverted to make room for the passing loop at the station.
