The station opened on 9 December 2007 and is on the Zaandam–Enkhuizen railway.

The following train services currently call at Purmerend Weidevenne: In the morning, afternoon and early evening the train starts in Leiden before continuing to Hoofddorp and further.

From December 2008, the direct connection with Amsterdam Centraal was lost, due to the Stoptrain 4500 becoming an Intercity, not stopping between Amsterdam Sloterdijk and Hoorn.

Therefore, it is recommended to travel to Zaandam/Amsterdam Sloterdijk and change for central Amsterdam.
