It is situated at the reversal point of the Middle and Top Roads of the Lithgow Zig Zag. There are toilet facilities at the station.[1]

When the Zig Zag Railway reopened in October 1975, Top Points was a terminal station on the line. It originally consisted of a platform on the western side with the eastern platform constructed after the line was extended to Clarence. The area behind the eastern platform was a carpark.

In 2002 the former Cooerwull station footbridge was added to join the two platforms.[2][3]
