As a general rule, Virar-bound fast trains skip Goregaon, while Borivali-bound fast trains halt here (although there are exceptions) but as it's located in between Andheri and Borivali, it works as an important halt for termination and origination of Churchgate and Mumbai CSMT/ Panvel bound services with access to Dindoshi, Oshiwara and Film City, as well as other areas such as Malad and Jogeshwari.

What distinguishes Goregaon from Jogeshwari is the four Churchgate-bound fast 'Goregaon locals' which depart (from platform number 7) at an interval of approximately 30 minutes during the morning rush-hour.

These are the only diversion points present between the Andheri and Borivali railway stations; the extra loop rail tracks are used for out of service local trains to halt sideways when they are not operational.

It also included building an elevated deck above the new platforms with ticketing facilities, and connections to the central FOB and skywalks, leading to the east and west sides of the station.

Bus services on the east serves the areas of Dindoshi, Yashodham, Gokuldham and residential hubs nearby Aarey Colony.
