This station is served by the local Jæren Commuter Rail service running between Stavanger and Egersund on the Sørlandet Line. The station was the central station for Sandnes between 1955 and 1996 (called Sandnes Station), but was then replaced by a rebuilt Sandnes Sentrum Station. This station was then renamed Sandnes holdeplass (from 1996 until 2017), serving only as a stop for local trains, but officially it remained the main station.{{Cite web |title=Sandnes (gamle) |url=http://forsk.njk.no/stdb/index.php?mod=st&aut=0&detaljert=1&baneID=167&Stnr=5109&sid=1898 |access-date=2016-03-17 |publisher=Norsk Jernbaneklubb |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Sandnes |url=http://www.jernbaneverket.no/Jernbanen/Stasjonssok/-S-/Sandnes-gamle/ |access-date=2016-03-17 |publisher=Jernbaneverket |language=Norwegian}} To reduce confusion with the now much more used station with similar name, the station was renamed to "Skeiane" from 12 August 2017. {{Cite web |title=Stasjon i Sandnes får nytt navn |url=http://www.banenor.no/Nyheter/Nyhetsarkiv/2017/stasjon-i-sandnes-endrer-navn/ |language=Norwegian}}
