Situated on the West Coast Main Line, the station is now an important marshalling point for commuter trains from here for all stations to London Euston, although no long-distance Virgin services stop here.

There are 5 full length (12 car) platforms, with one side platform and two islands. To the east of the station are some south facing sidings connecting to the slow lines.
