The station has a cross platform bridge with lift access which began production in June 2017, and became operational in 2018. Prior to 19 September 2014, Westerton was also served by the overnight Caledonian Sleeper service between Fort William and London Euston, to allow Glasgow-bound passengers to change onto a connecting service, as the sleeper used a route avoiding the city centre. From 21 September 2014 the sleeper service was re-routed to call instead at Queen Street Low Level and so the stop was removed from the timetable.
