The station and platform have recently been renovated, and in 2012, the main building was being offered for commercial lease.[3]
A goods shed is also at the station, as well as a 70' long turntable, that is in usable condition but booked out of use.[4] K class steam locomotive K167 is also statically preserved in a nearby park.
