The station has 676 parking spaces, 444 of which are owned by the state.^[1]

The station is also served by one eastbound Shore Line East train per weekday.

This station has two high-level side platforms. The northern platform, adjacent to Track 1, is four cars long and generally used by westbound or Manhattan-bound trains. The southern platform, adjacent to Track 4, is 10 cars long and generally used by eastbound or outbound trains.

The New Haven Line has three tracks at this location. The inner track, not adjacent to either platform, is used only by express trains.
