The station layout is slightly unusual in that the platforms are staggered (on the opposite sides of a road bridge, as can be seen in the accompanying photo) rather than being located opposite each other like other stations on the route.

Facilities
In August 2013, plans were released to install electronic real-time information screens (CIS) at the station. It was later revealed by Metro that they will be installed by January/February 2015.[2] These were eventually commissioned in the spring of 2015. The station has been unstaffed since 1966, and has a ticket machine. There are basic shelters on both platforms and only the Huddersfield platform has step-free access.[3]
