The station is equipped with a passing loop on the largely single-track route, as well as a water-tower for the steam locomotives which chiefly work the line.

The passing loop was removed by British Rail some years prior to the end of nationalised operations, as an economy measure.

However, this severely restricted the timetable by preventing the simultaneous operation of two trains and so the loop was reinstated upon privatisation of the line.

This grant led to the Vale of Rheidol Railway making substantial investment in five of its smaller stations.

Funding also permitted fencing work, landscaping, and the development of the station approach from the nearby road.
