The station originally opened on 10 June 1874 and is located on the Utrecht–Boxtel railway and the Hilversum–Lunetten railway (via Utrecht Maliebaan).

The services are currently operated by Nederlandse Spoorwegen.

When new the station was just an interchange station between the Utrecht - 's-Hertogenbosch line and the Hilversum - Utrecht Lunetten services.

There was no entrance/exit to the station, so its sole purpose was for the interchange of these lines.

The following services currently call at Utrecht Lunetten: The railway tracks were doubled in order to separate local from Intercity services.
