A total of 34 express and passenger trains halt here; there was one originating and terminating trains at this station: Mookambika Road-Kannur Passenger train; however this service was terminated in 2017 within two years of service due to lack of revenue generation.[1] Although the railway station caters to a lot of passengers and superfast trains on a daily basis, it does not have a siding line or passing loop.
