The developments also included an extension of the existing goods siding west of the station, accessed via the western throat, which was extended to the road overbridge.

W.G.King's had a quarry at Triscombe, and had built their own 2 ft (610 mm) tramway transporting stone from the quarry to a stone-crusher, and then onwards to either: a tarmac/concrete plant located adjacent to the Station Master's House; or a tipper parallel to the goods siding, and hence loaded on to its own set of 5 plank 10 long tons (10,000 kg) private owner wagons.

British Rail closed the railway on 4 January 1971, during which they demolished a number of buildings on the stations platforms, and burnt down the original "squat" B&ER signal box.

Located in a small local valley, the station stands at the highest point on the line, just under 400 feet (120 m) above sea level.

A display of permanent way can be found on the western platform and includes a portion of 7 ft (2,134 mm) broad gauge "baulk road" as was originally used on the line.
