It is on the Mandurah railway line, which is part of the Transperth commuter rail network.

It has two side platforms, linked by a pedestrian overpass accessed by stairs, a lift, and escalators.

The journey to Perth railway station is 43.2 kilometres (26.8 mi), and takes 34 minutes.

The journey to Mandurah railway station is 27.6 kilometres (17.1 mi), and takes 17 minutes.

However, over time it became cheaper to load timber at the deep-water port in Fremantle and the rails were removed in 1949.

[8] The planned central Rockingham station was abandoned at this time, in order to offset the extra cost of the Perth leg.

To offset this, the State Government announced plans to construct a light rail link to the Rockingham CBD instead.

Evidence of the abandoned light rail is seen in the busway approach to the station, where concrete 'tracks' can be seen.

The light rail track would have ended at a platform under the existing station canopy near the western entrance.

The pattern operates once per day in each direction at the beginning of peak in the early morning.
