Just outside the station, to the north, on the east-side there is a single rail fork towards the military domain of Brasschaat.

The barriers used to be closed for long periods of time when a slow train stopped towards Essen.

De Lijn and the NMBS (National Railway Company of Belgium) have plans for the railway-station that processes more than 950 passengers per day.

De Lijn also has plans for the railway-station, they want to make the railway station a center of the bus network as well.
