The two original platforms were staggered,with the up platform located on the Windermere side of the access crossing,and the down platform located on the Kendal side. Designed and operated as a busy main line double track railway,through trains operated between Windermere and a variety of destinations,including London. Burneside station had goods sidings and a goods yard for freight services.
Freight services were ended on the line in 1972,and the gradual reduction in passenger services culminated in 1973 when the line was reconfigured as a single-track railway,resulting in the closure of the former down platform. All trains,in both directions,have used the original up platform since 1973.
To the east of the station can be found the only two semaphore signals on the line guarding the manually operated road crossing.
