The station and all trains are operated by Silverlink.

The normal service is a train every 15 minutes to Richmond and a train every 15 minutes to Stratford, with alternating services continuing to North Woolwich.

Anglia Railways used to run a service which called at this station, between Norwich and Basingstoke, but this was discontinued in Autumn 2002, due to congestion on the North London Line and the financial return being less than that forecast.
