[edit] MARC service
MARC trains, on the Camden line, stop at this station on a set of tracks that are parallel to the Metro tracks. These tracks are accessible from the west side of the station, and also via a pedestrian/biker tunnel that goes under the Metro tracks. Most Camden Line trains stop there. The station is unstaffed which requires that you buy a ticket on the train.
