As of 2015, most trains between Groningen and Leeuwarden do not stop at the station, and it is not shown on the standard NS map.

[1] The station was on an industrial park, and was used almost exclusively by commuters: no buses stopped around the station, and there are hardly any houses in the area that could benefit from the station Although there is only one track, there were two platforms, one in bayonet position, where the train stopped as usual after the level crossing The platforms of Achter de Hoven were relatively far apart, namely a few hundred meters, with the level crossing with Julianastraat and a second level crossing that is located on the FrieslandCampina site.

The name of the station was only on the screen of the two OV chipkaart check ins and on the departure side.

The plan, which was to be completed in 2017, includes demolition of Leeuwarden Achter de Hoven railway station.

[2] In 2017, Arriva announced that the trains will not stop any more at the station after 3 September 2018.
