[4] The St Combs line was partly unfenced and it was therefore classified as a light railway with locomotives carrying cow catchers.

There were a name board and a shelter that may have been an old goods van on the low platform, and originally there was a rectangular stone built ticket office with some form of signalling.

The 1964 - 1965 timetable had 11 return workings per day between Fraserburgh and St Combs with an additional service on Saturdays.

[12] The full journey to St Combs took around twenty minutes and connections for Aberdeen were available at the Fraserburgh railway station terminus.

[13] The trackbed is visible in places, the loading dock can be seen and the railway cottage remains as a private house.
