The new station has a fairly high patronage, mainly people going shopping at the new Sylvia Park Shopping Centre.

Previous station

An earlier station was opened at the site in 1930 and closed during the World War II period (1940-1945), due to the American government buying the land next to the railway and using it for army sheds.

Another station with the same name existed approximately 1 km west of this site. Passengers were mostly for the adjacent Westfield Freezing Works until 1986 when it was closed due to lack of patronage.

Services

Services are provided at least half-hourly on weekdays, with services at least hourly on weekends and public holidays.
