[1] During a heavy storm in 1968, the original brick bridge that crosses the River Kennett east of the station was washed away isolating the line for several days whilst a new metal structure was constructed to replace it.

[4] Parts of the original building were retained to serve as storage for the signal box and line-side maintenance; these have since been demolished.

It was subsequently removed and transported by road to the Colne Valley Railway in Essex.

[5] Signal control was moved to Bury St Edmunds Yard because of modernisation of the line to provide increased capacity.

The carpark was also improved, with the addition of dedicated motorbike and bicycle parking, and an illuminated noticeboard to display train timetables and planned service alterations.
