Trains normally proceed from here eastwards without stopping at Butterley railway station which they left a few minutes previously.

The location of the terminus allows passengers to cross the causeway over Butterley Reservoir.

There is no vehicular access at this point although a public footpath runs across the end of the platform; passengers are instead advised to use Butterley railway station.

The signal box at Hammersmith was originally at Kilby Bridge in Leicestershire.

Built in 1900, it was closed by British Rail on 29 June 1986 and moved to the Centre in August 1986.
