The main goods traffic was stone from the quarries under Box Hill, which was brought to the lineside by a tramway system of 2 ft 5+1⁄2 in (750 mm) gauge.

The sidings led right up to the mouth of Box Tunnel, whose eastern portal is less than 1 mile (1.6 km) from the station.

Of the station structures, only the goods shed remains; the footbridge is still in place as part of a footpath across the main line.

[5][6] Local MP Michelle Donelan, who had been involved in the bid, said she hoped the new station could be built within five years.
