Platforms and services

Each day northbound XPT services operate to Grafton, Casino and Brisbane, with three southbound services operating to Sydney.[4] There is a connecting bus service to Nambucca Heads.[5] This station is a request stop for the northbound Brisbane XPT and the southbound Casino XPT, so these services stop here only if passengers have booked to board/alight here. A goods yard and passing loop were formerly opposite the station, until disconnected in June 2012.[6]
