The station is used for spectators to access these races and is also a popular drop-off point for the annual Laa Columb Killey (St Columba's Day) festival which takes place in a nearby field each summer.

There was originally a track works permanent way hut, which remains locked, but a small lean-to canopy was added in 1987 as well as a concrete platform area and the station became one of the most popular for lineside photographers.

For several years floral decorations have been provided and upkept by the Arbory Women's Institute, work which continues today in conjunction with the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association In more recent times since the 1990s, the station was tended to by local supporters who added flower baskets, old-fashioned advertising signs and the like, making it one of the most picturesque yet tranquil stations on the line.

A blackboard was put in place and cheerful notes regularly updated on it for the passing traveller to observe but this practice has latterly stopped.

Volunteers from the Isle of Man Steam Railway Supporters' Association undertook renovation works at the station during the summer of 2021 which included the provision of traditional concrete railway planters, restored platform furniture complete with station name, litter bins and a repaint of the former platelayers' hut from green into royal maroon to make the structure stand out from the surrounding greenery; two short sections of picket fencing were also erected to further define the platform area which will be continued as funding allows; a replacement running in board will also be added to complete the project.
