Western Line services of the Auckland rail network are operated between the station and Waitematā in central Auckland by Auckland One Rail, on behalf of Auckland Transport.
The station is the westernmost and northernmost point of the city's electrified network. It became the terminus of the Western Line in July 2015, when urban train services to Waitakere station ceased because the Waitakere-Swanson section of track was not electrified. A bus shuttle service operates between Waitakere and Swanson stations.[2]
The current station building was relocated from Avondale railway station following an upgrade there.
