It is served by 'intercity' trains of CityRail's South Coast line. Opened in 1887,[1] the station consists of an island platform with access via an overbridge across the rail tracks. The station marks the end of the double track section of the South Coast line, and the junction with the Unanderra-Moss Vale railway line is located to the south.

It is not presently accessible to the disabled however will be upgraded in 2010.[2]
