The station is popular with commuters travelling to Edinburgh from Fife and beyond, thanks to its location beside the M90 motorway. Immediately north of the station, the Fife Circle Line splits in two. Two large free of charge park and ride car parks are provided.
The station is currently staffed for all trains and has public toilets, and a ticket hall. There is also a waiting room and a footbridge.
