Before rail privatisation, a ticket office was provided here, on the 'up' side, in the signal cabin adjacent to the level crossing gates at the eastern end of the station. This became unstaffed thereafter. A PERTIS passenger-operated ticket machine was in due course installed and issued 'Permits to Travel' - exchanged on-train or at staffed stations for travel tickets. In October 2016 the PERTIS machine was removed and replaced with a new ticket machine. The ticket machine is of the newer secure design and only accepts Card Payments. A ticket office service is now provided for 3½ hours in the morning on weekdays.[1]
Layout
Planning applications were lodged by Network Rail in the autumn of 2016 for a footbridge to be built (replacing the level crossing) at a reported cost of over £2 million.[2] The level crossing permanently closed on 25 February 2018 and the following day an adjacent footbridge, with ramped access, was opened.[3]
