The station buildings remain in a dilapidated state though the goods yard is used by a haulage company.

About a mile (2 km) north of the station is the point where the Midland installed its first troughs to allow locomotives to pick up water.

The river valley here is very flat, and the line crosses it seven times in the space of about 7 miles (11 km) most prominently on the viaduct (which is two separate viaducts running parallel to each other) to the north of the village.

One occurred on 21 January 1938 at the Junction between the Midland Main Line and the Bedford–Northampton line to the south of the village, when an Express train collided with an empty stock movement killing three and injuring eight.
