The station survived into the British Rail era but succumbed to the round of closures that followed the Beeching Report of 1963, services ending on 6 March 1967.

The station building on the Up platform contains an exhibition and waiting room, other facilities at the location include toilets with disabled access and parking for a small number of cars.

Under Peak Rail auspices, a signal box (originally at Bamford but relocated from the erstwhile Buxton steam centre) was sited at the southern end of the Up platform (see pictures), with a level crossing (Station Road) just beyond it.

In March 2008, the crossing keeper's hut was replaced by a more extensive new structure built in a traditional style, required as part of the increased signalling equipment on the railway.

The latter has, in effect, split the operation into three controlled sections, permitting better timetabling and more efficient services, while also providing the necessary infrastructure to cater for extensions to the present line.
