It is 62 miles 78 chains (101.3 km) down the line from London Liverpool Street[1] and is situated between Great Bentley to the west and Thorpe-le-Soken to the east.

In 2011 the station received a minor facelift, which included the addition of an accessible ramp with hand rails, updated warning signs, and a clean-up.

In 2014 a footbridge of modular steel construction connecting the platforms was installed, replacing the old concrete structure.

[3] Since the original station building has been disused for many years, in 2016 it was reported that the franchisee, Greater Anglia, planned to demolish it and provide platform shelters in its place.

Due to its low patronage – the lowest of all the stations on the Sunshine Coast Line – Weeley is closed on Sundays.
