[edit] Service

The station is served by 6-8 trains per hour in each direction for most of the day, with more trains at peak hours. In the May 2006 timetable frequency at Roseville was increased from 4 trains an hour to 6-8 trains an hour, in the off peak and on weekends.

[edit] Infrastructure

Compared with the infrastructure in other parts of the system, Roseville is of the highest quality, with concrete sleepers, recently replaced overhead supports and continuously welded rails. The platform consists of a concrete island, and access is by means of an overhead bridge.

[edit] Easy access

As the station is connected to the adjacent streets on either side via stairs, Easy Access for wheelchairs is not available. It is unlikely that Roseville will receive easy access any time soon as it is a minor station and with the current patronage easy access is not a viable option.
