Originally, only Green Line trains served the station and ran between Fort Totten and Greenbelt.

[7][8] Since May 7, 2023, the northeastern terminus of the Yellow Line was truncated from Greenbelt to Mount Vernon Square, following its reopening after a nearly eight-month-long major rehabilitation project on its bridge over the Potomac River and its tunnel leading into L'Enfant Plaza.

[10] The station is located at the southwest corner of the East-West Highway (Maryland Route 410) and Belcrest Road intersection.

Instead, a multilevel parking garage sits directly above the station and includes multiple taxi and bus stops.

A pedestrian walkway immediately travels underneath the commercial development to the north and then over East-West Highway, connecting directly into The Mall at Prince Georges.
