The station is one of the most important railways hubs of Anhui, served by about 90 trains a day and used by 9 million passengers a year.

The significant growth of passenger flow in Fuyang Station started in the 1990s, when Fuyang, which was already a densely populated area with too little farmland, suffered from the 1991 floods in East China, and some farmers started to migrate for work, converging into a wave of migrant workers for spring transportation in 1993.

[1] Due to the serious shortage of vehicles, boxcars accounted for half of all the departing cars at Fuyang Station.

The area of the station building was increased to 10,270 square meters, the waiting room expanded to 5,662 square meters and the ticket hall opened with 14 ticket windows.
