The station is served by East Midlands Railway, who operate the service from Nottingham to Matlock (via Derby). For journeys beginning at Whatstandwell, tickets may be bought from the machine on the platform or on the train for any destination in the country; beyond Derby, tickets must be bought at the ticket office. The journey time to Derby is approximately 24 minutes. Services are approximately hourly, but two-hourly on Sundays. Trains on the Derwent Valley line were replaced by a bus service for several weeks in late summer of 2018; this was due to essential works being carried out on the approach to Derby station.

The footbridge at the station leads to the Cromford Canal towpath and to a bridge over the canal to Main Road and the village.
