The station is actually a complex of two stations, one serving Renfe Iberian-gauge railways, and another adjacent serving FEVE metre-gauge services to Bilbao-Abando and Oviedo.

Alvia services use the Madrid–León high-speed rail line as far as Palencia, and switches to the conventional rail network to serve Santander, and one Media Distancia service operates on the classic line between Santander and Valladolid-Campo Grande.

The Cercanías Santander commuter rail line also begins at the station.

The metre-gauge Feve Services from Santander link it with Liérganes and Cabezón de la Sal as a commuter service, and regional services to Oviedo and Bilbao.
