In FY 2017, North Wales station had a weekday average of 974 boardings and 855 alightings.

School Street runs through the west parking lot, and then turns southwest while that parking lot continues to follow the tracks, almost reaching Walnut Street.

North Wales station was originally built in 1873 by the Reading Railroad, and previously contained a cupola over the ticket window, iron support under the overhanging roof, and a matching shelter on the opposite side of the tracks.

In the early 2000s, the station was reconstructed to make it ADA accessible by building long elevated platforms and three new shelters--one on the outbound side and two on the inbound side.
