As of January 2023, both platforms had been reconstructed, a signal box on platform 2 had been rebuilt and has been fitted out with the necessary signalling equipment, the footbridge span and steps (from Henley-in-Arden railway station) have been erected and the main station building had been completed with toilets, a booking office and refreshment room.

Platform 2 is not yet open to the public however work to rebuild the original waiting room is progressing.
