It is one of the important railway station serving the Bangalore metropolitan area and most of the trains have a stop here.

Some of the major routes include to the places of Howrah, Chennai Central, and Patna Jn.

The cable-stayed bridge of Old Madras Road crosses the tracks just near the station.

However the Guntakal track is mostly used by freight trains and oil tankers from Whitefield, though a few express trains from Tamil Nadu and Kerala heading towards the north do use this line, bypassing Bangalore in the process.
