[2] The land located directly next to the station was used for the annual Blandford Children's Picnic, held on New Years Day.

[4] On 13 September 1926, the Murulla rail accident, also dubbed the "Blandford railway accident" occurred between Blandford station and the signal box at Murulla when runaway trucks from a goods train collided with the Sydney-bound Northern Mail from Moree, resulting in the deaths of 26 people and another 42 injured.

In the year to 30 June 1928, Blandford recorded 2,617 passenger journeys which ranked fourth-lowest within the Upper Hunter.

However, the adjoining signal box was retained and in the 2010s, a mural was painted on all four sides depicting the monarch butterfly, a species well-recognised within the local environment.

Three railway tracks ran through the station, with one serving the passenger platform, another forming a passing loop, and the third for a goods siding.
