Situated between Wickham Market and Darsham, it is 22 miles 29 chains (36 km) down the line from Ipswich, and 91 miles 11 chains (147 km) from London Liverpool Street. Its three-letter station code is SAX.
It is managed by Greater Anglia, which operates all trains serving the station.
The signalling centre for the line is located in the signal cabin on the Lowestoft-bound platform, which formerly served as the control centre while the line was signalled using the Radio Electronic Token Block (RETB) system.
A branch line, which formerly ran to Aldeburgh on the coast from just north of Saxmundham, is still used for goods traffic to the nearby Sizewell nuclear power stations.
