Opened in 1848 by the London and South Western Railway (LSWR), it is located on the West Coastway Line which runs between Brighton and Southampton. It is currently served by the South Western Railway, Southern, and Great Western Railway train operating companies.
The station used to have a small goods yard which served local freight trains around Portsmouth. Today all that remains is an old loading gauge, with the original site being built upon.
Services at Cosham are operated by Southern, South Western Railway and Great Western Railway using Class 377, 444 and 450 EMUs and Class 165 and 166 DMUs.

The station is also served by a single daily service from London Waterloo to Southampton Central which runs directly to Cosham from Bedhampton.
During the evenings, most Great Western Railway services do not stop at Cosham.
Westward, the line through Cosham leads to Portchester and Fareham, eastward to a junction (part of the local "Railway Triangle") between lines leading south to Hilsea and Portsmouth and east to Bedhampton and Havant.
