The station

The station had two platforms, a weighing platform and a signal box.[2] The station buildings are now private dwellings. The line is now electrified.

Stations on the line

The next station on the line towards Carlisle was the now closed Brisco and the preceding station was the now closed Southwaite. Brisco railway station proved to be unviable and the decision was made to close it in 1852 in favour of Wreay railway station.[3]
