Original Station
The original station was the one opened in 1868, which closed in 1935.
Moving the Station
In August 2007, the station building was moved 150 m (492 ft) north of its previous location, which was 600 m (1,969 ft) south of the current station.
The building had to be moved to allow for the line to be quad-tracked from Utrecht to 's-Hertogenbosch, but the station building was part of Houten's past and it is the last building of its type on this line.

The route between Houten and Odijk is only served during weekdays. Pouw Vervoer operates most of the runs, U-OV only a few; CTS operates the evening and Sunday runs and also the Saturday runs during Summer Break.
