Description

The station building and single platform were on the south side of the track, a signal box on the north side controlled the level crossing gates on the road to Cliburn. There was also a goods siding behind the station which was used to host a camping coach from 1937 to 1939 and was possibly visited by a coach in 1933 and 1934. [2] [3]

After closure the station house became a private residence, the signal box also survives and has been restored as a holiday cottage as of 2012. [2] [4]
