It is the ninth-busiest station in the regional rail system, and the fourth busiest outside Center City.

Designed by well-known Gilded Age architect Horace Trumbauer, the station remains in use to this day,[7] and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2014.

It is a Regional Rail junction, served by three SEPTA lines (Lansdale/Doylestown, Warminster, and West Trenton) along with service to and from Philadelphia International Airport.

[11] These three rail lines make Jenkintown-Wyncote the ninth-busiest station in SEPTA's Regional Rail system, and the third-busiest outside the City of Philadelphia, with 1,246 average weekday boardings and 1,702 average weekday alightings in FY 2017.

Jenkintown's West Avenue runs along the outbound side, and the inbound side of the station borders parking, Ralph Morgan Park, and Glenside Avenue in Wyncote.
