Notes
Passenger statistics from the Office of Rail and Road

Facilities here are very basic - it is unstaffed and there are no permanent buildings present, other than standard shelters.[2] Travellers must buy tickets on the train or in advance, as there are no ticketing facilities on offer (though the station is due to receive one in 2019 as part of a wider package of station improvements in the region).[3] Train running information is provided by telephone and timetable posters. Step-free access to the platforms is available via a ramp on the south side from the nearby road bridge that also acts as the link between the two and directly from the adjacent road on the northbound side.[4][2]
