Trivia
- This station replaced Winstree upon opening in The Big Update.
- On occasion, when platform 1 is already in use, trains can utilize platform 2 or platform 3. This happens very rarely.
- With AirLink and Stepford Express services calling at this station, the station is more frequently occupied and more platforms are being used at a time, compared to when only Connect services called here.
- The destination on the trains used to display "Leighton Stepford Road" in The Big Update, then it was changed to just "Stepford Road" in V1.1 due to some trains not being able to fit the destination properly on the destination board, but in the Five Million Update, it was changed again to "Leighton Step Rd".
