In 1948 the station had two low-level platforms with no facilities, it was the station for the marshalling yard which varied in size over the years, peaking at around forty sidings.There was a block post, the Army's name for a signal box, controlling access to the yard from the double track which was usually worked as a single track using the up line.
The station was closed along with the rest of the line on 31 October 1969.
