For many years the station had a notable flower garden maintained by the Vaisey sisters.

This later faded but in 2007 local residents renovated the garden and planted new flowers in the memory of the Vaisey sisters.

It had been lowered in 1988 as part of the realignment of the track through the station to allow trains to pass at a faster speed.

At the same time the platform was raised, the station also received additional improvements including better lighting and the construction of a new waiting shelter.
