Vincent Grade/Acton station is served by 22 Metrolink Antelope Valley Line trains (11 in each direction) each weekday. Weekend service consists of 12 trains (6 in each direction) on both Saturday and Sunday. On all days, trains are evenly spaced throughout the day.[6]
The station shelters are designed to resemble Wild West-era facades.
This station predominantly serves residents of southern and eastern Palmdale, due to the station's closer proximity to these areas than the Palmdale Transportation Center in northern Palmdale.

The route allows Metrolink passengers on mid-day trains (that only go as far as Newhall station in the Santa Clarita Valley) to travel to the Palmdale station. Vincent Grade/Acton station is only served in the northbound direction, by request from passengers onboard the bus.[7]
