A virtual copy of Bishops Lydeard, it consisted of a single platform on the down-side (left) of trains travelling towards Watchet.

To enable this, a new road bridge was built at the south end of the station before the loop was opened, but the level crossing next to the platform was left in place.

On the north side of the station building is the goods shed, now used as a diesel heritage visitor centre, and the locomotive workshops.

The original B&ER footbridge was installed towards the south end of the station close to the signal box, but was removed by British Railways in the 1960s, when they shortened the passing loop.

[3] The newspaper kiosk,[4] plate layers hut,[5] signal box,[6] waiting room and east platform[7] and booking office[8] are listed buildings.

At the far end of the station yard is a pre-fabricated building that is used for steam locomotive and coach overhauls by the West Somerset Railway Association, the volunteer supporters of the West Somerset Railway; it was originally erected at Swindon Works in 1899 and is Grade II listed[2] and was donated by Tarmac Ltd following the closure of the works.
