The railway station is located 1.3 km (0.81 mi) north-east from the centre of Kokshetau, the capital of Akmola Region in the northern part of Kazakhstan.

The station complex provides long-distance and international services (such as Russia and Belarus), and short-distance service commuter trains (elektrichka) for suburbs, minor city stations, and nearby regions.
