The station makes the Northern Kempen region connected to the rail network via the HSL 4 route and is the only true high-speed station in Belgium. However, it is not served by any true high-speed train, functioning rather as a park and ride for Antwerp and to a lesser extent Breda. The Thalys services (300 km/h) skip the station as the IC services (160 km/h - 200 km/h) serve the station.

This station features four tracks: the outside ones, with side platforms, are used by trains stopping there, while the central ones, with no platforms, are used by nonstop high-speed trains.
