There are two crossovers south of the station, allowing trains to terminate in an emergency. They cannot be used for regular working as they are manually operated by levers next to the tracks and there are no signals to permit any movements over the points. All signals at this station are controlled from Cowan or Gosford. ^[5]

There is a small kiosk in the concourse that is normally open in the morning selling drinks and snacks.

The concourse has a pedestrian bridge over Railway Street to a large multi-story commuter car park. There are no ticketing requirements to park in this structure.
