It serves the entire municipality of Inderøy, though there is no corresponding bus service.

The station is only served by the Trøndelag Commuter Rail service that goes between Steinkjer and Trondheim.

Originally the station was named Salberg, but it was renamed Røra on 1 August 1918.

[2] At the time of construction the only settlement at Røra was located at Hylla, along the coast.

Since then, the Hellemshaugen housing development, a grocery store, a school, and other public facilities have been built near the station, making it a very urban area.
