Ninove station is a railway station along railway line 90 (Jurbeke - Aat - Denderleeuw) in the city of Ninove. The station has a parking lot and there are covered bicycle sheds on both sides of the railway.
The old station building dated from 1855. Like the other stations on the lines constructed by Dendre-et-Waes, architect Jean-Pierre Cluysenaar was called upon for the design. It was demolished on November 14, 1977, one day before the building was to be classified as a monument.
In 1978, a year after the demolition of the old station, a new building was inaugurated. It was built according to plans by Jacques Devincke. It is a very austere low-rise building under a flat roof. The building houses, among other things, service rooms, a ticket hall (with associated waiting room) and a station buffet ("De Retard"). There are also sanitary facilities available, but due to persistent vandalism, you now have to request the key at the counter (after showing your identity card).

Ninove consists of 2 platform tracks, with passing options provided. Both platforms are almost completely paved and have been renovated since 2012, the typical waiting booths have also been replaced by standard waiting booths.

Unlike most stations, there is no tunnel, but a small bridge to cross the tracks. An iron balustrade has been placed above the railway line so that objects cannot be thrown onto the tracks. By only using stairs, the level crossing bridge is virtually inaccessible to disabled people. To solve this problem, according to The Great Train Report 2009, a loading bridge will be installed in the foreseeable future. There is also a service crossing, but it is not accessible to travelers.
