The station is parallel to the Royal Canal near the 12th lock. It has two through platforms. It originally featured a portacabin booking office; however, a permanent station building was constructed (and the platforms lengthened) as part of the upgrade of the Western Commuter service in 2000. The ticket office is no longer staffed.

The station was further upgraded in 2012 with new shelters and signage.

History

The station opened on 2 July 1990.
