It is located on the Robin Hood Line and the Hucknall branch of the Nottingham Express Transit (NET).

It was the first of several stations to serve Bulwell, including Bulwell Common, Bulwell Forest and Basford and Bulwell.

The station used to have 2 rail platforms, but the down platform was removed to make way for the Nottingham Express Transit tram stop.
