The station was opened on 16 August 1893 and is located at the end of the Sauwerd–Roodeschool railway.

[1] The train services are operated by Arriva.

For well over a century, Roodeschool was the northernmost station in the Netherlands, until 28 March 2018, when further along the line, the station Eemshaven was opened, slightly more north.

At the same date, the old, head-end station, was closed and a new station for Roodeschool was opened, allowing trains to continue to Eemshaven.
