Following developments during 2012 and 2013, funded by the European Union, there is now a raised platform, improving access on and off carriages.

The two platform lines both terminate in buffer stops, and each has a headshunt forward of bi-directional cross-over points for locomotive release.

A separate temporary structure in the car park currently serves as the Two Hoots refreshment room on railway operating days.

It typically houses one of the locomotives from the railway's museum fleet, either Wren 3114 or Quarry Hunslet Margaret.

The locomotive is steamed on some high season operating days to provide footplate rides along a short demonstration line as an additional station attraction.
