The station is an elevated structure along the viaduct to the north of one of the two rail depots of the Tuen Ma line. The MTR Kam Tin Building is just north of the station building and once housed the West Rail control centre, but the facility relocated to the main MTR control centre in Tsing Yi after the railway merger.The station itself is a short distance from the towns of Kam Tin or Pat Heung. As residents from nearby could not decide upon the name of the settlement that the station would be named after, the main road nearest to the station was used instead.
