Passenger service to Bryn consists of the local slow train between Asker and Lillestrøm Station (line 400). The train has two platforms. Platform 1 serves inbound trains to Oslo, platform 2 serves the outbound trains towards Lillestrøm.

The station building is the headquarters for the Norwegian railway society "Norsk Jernbaneklubb". [ [http://www.njk.no/oslo/ NJK infopage] ]

Bryn is located in a largely industrial area, but passenger usage of the station has been rather small. The railway station is close to, but not connected to, the subway station Brynseng. Regulation plans for the area call for the construction of a pedestrian and bicycle path between the railway and subway stations to make train-to-subway connections easier.
