Facilities

The station is unmanned and previously had no ticketing provisions however, in 2018, ticket machines were installed. There are waiting shelters on each platform and train running information is provided via CIS displays, automated announcement and help points on each side. Level access is only possible to platform 1, as platform 2 access requires the use of a steep ramp.

Services

Passengers for stations to Kilmarnock and beyond have to change at Barrhead, as most longer distance trains do not usually call here.
