The station is 19 miles 50 chains (31.6 km) from Glasgow Queen Street, measured via Singer and Maryhill.

[8][9] There were some goods sidings here previously - possibly built in the late 1940s - but these were removed in the mid-1960s with the end of regular freight movements on the line.

On weekdays and Saturdays, there is typically a half-hourly service westbound to Helensburgh Central, and eastbound to Edinburgh Waverley, via Glasgow Queen Street low-level and Airdrie, which skips stations between Dalmuir and Hyndland.

On Sundays, the service remains half-hourly, but trains serve all stations via Singer.

Trains operating to the West Highland Line do not stop here, except for one departure in the morning, which runs to Glasgow Queen Street via Maryhill.
