The station was the first on the 49+1⁄4 miles (79.3 km) line to Clifden, being the first stop and a little under 8 miles (13 km) from Galway.[1] It had two 100 yards (91 m) platforms, 55 yards (50 m) goods platform, and a 90 yards (82 m) cattle loading bank.[2]

The station closed with the line in 1935,[1] While the line has been paved over several buildings remain but are adapted for private and business usage.[2]
