The long-distance train section has two tracks and a central platform. Regional trains stop at Bålsta Station on the Gothenburg-Hallsberg-Västerås-Stockholm route. At the southern end of the main platforms there is an entrance and ticket hall to the SL commuter train section which consists of a track and a side platform.
Until 2018, there was a station building, below the south side of the railway embankment. This was demolished in May 2018, as part the planned redevelopment of the centre of Bålsta. A new bus station area was opened in January 2021.
