It is situated on a loop off the Bristol to Taunton Line, 136 miles 12 chains (136.15 mi; 219.1 km) from the zero point at London Paddington via Box.

Access to the two platforms, which were built of pre-cast concrete sections, was from the Locking Moor Road at the east end of the station.

The station is located in Saville Road and consists of just one small platform (on the left hand side of the train when travelling towards Bristol).

[7] The Weston Package Phase 1 strategic planning guidance suggests that the station 'could' be relocated underneath a proposed new bridge that would link Herluin Way and Locking Road.

A new station could have longer platforms that can take larger trains which will be an important aspect of unlocking employment opportunities in the redevelopment of the former Weston Airfield.
