The station is located to the south and west of Thormbrae (east then south) which crosses the tracks. Overton Road leads west from Thornbrae south of the rail bridge into the Springfield Park housing development which lies south of the station.
There's a forecourt outside the main entrance, along the north side of the station, between the station and Thornbrae. The area outside the entrance is a large turning circle at the south end of a short approach road, which includes the taxi rank. To the west is an extensive car park along the north side of the station.
There are four entrances/exits to this station:
Just beyond (south of) the bridge over the tracks is a turning right (west) down a steep(ish) path onto the east end of platform 2. There’s a hand rail along the north side of the path, which is about 1.5 metres wide. There are four lamp posts on the south side. Note that some users may find this path a bit steep.

The path veers right (south) and continues to Springfield Park, just east of numbers 1 to 19. Turn right then take the first turning left and continue onto the north side of Overton Road.
