It is served by most Paoli/Thorndale Line trains with the exception of a few express runs, and is located on Haverford Station Road.

In 1870, the Bryn Mawr cutoff rerouted the tracks to their current alignment in an attempt to eliminate curves and grades.

The station house on the north side of the grade was built in 1870 (although some sources claim the origins to be roughly around 1880) by the Wilson Brothers architectural firm for the Pennsylvania Railroad,.
