The station makes the Northern Kempen region connected to the rail network via the HSL 4 route.

History

The station was due to open in September 2007 but this and several other deadlines were not met. The main reason given for this was the ECTS signalling not being approved for use. The station was opened in 2009 and is served by shuttle services between the station and Antwerp.

In the future it is hoped international services to the Netherlands will stop at the station.
