The station is managed by Greater Anglia, which also operates most of the services calling at the station; some East Midlands Railway services also stop here.
Wymondham is also at a junction with the Mid-Norfolk Railway, a heritage route to Dereham; those services operate from a separate station, Wymondham Abbey, which is approximately one mile away. Wymondham was also once the junction of a branch line to Forncett, via Ashwellthorpe.
