Electric multiple unit trains are operated under the Metlink brand through this station in both directions to Johnsonville (to the north) and Wellington (to the south).

As originally constructed by the WMR, the "flag" station had a single side platform, a small wooden passenger shelter, and a crossing loop.

Later, after the government assumed control of the line, the station had a signal box built at the north end of the platform, a second loop and a back shunt.

Trains run in both directions through this station, departing at half-hourly intervals, supplemented by a 13/13/26 schedule at peak times on week days.

There is also pedestrian access from the south end of the Down platform via a zig-zag path to the junction of Cashmere Avenue and Agra Crescent.
