The Wairarapa Connection serves the station several times daily with services to Wellington and Masterton.

The station has a single track served by a four-car platform on the Ngaumutawa Road side.

[2][3] When the station was opened along with the line to Masterton on 1 November 1880 it had only a shelter and platform.

[4] The station was never regarded as being of any great importance but did also handle freight until 1986 with customers including the Wairarapa Electric Power Board and a fertiliser company.

A new car park was built at the station in 2001 by the Masterton District Council as part of a regional programme to "Enhance and expand urban public passenger transport facilities and services".
