The station is 41+3⁄4 miles (67 km) south west of Shrewsbury on the Heart of Wales Line.

The unstaffed station is located at street level adjacent to the bridge beneath a minor road.

As with most others on the route, it has been fitted with a digital CIS display and customer help point in addition to the standard timetable poster board and waiting shelter.

[1] Part of the platform has been raised to allow travellers to board and alight from trains without the need for portable stairs, but no level access is available from the main entrance (the only entry and exit route is via a flight of 18 steps).

Its former station building still survives opposite the remaining active platform (as can be seen in the photo), though it is now a private residence.
