The station had a canopied goods shed, and the '1904 Handbook of Stations', listed it as being able to handle general goods, livestock, horse boxes and prize cattle vans. It also had a 1-ton 10 cwt permanent crane. The station was host to a LNER camping coach in 1935, possibly one for some of 1934 and three coaches from 1936 to 1939. Two coaches were positioned here by North Eastern Region of British Railways from 1954 and three from 1959 to 1964. The station closed on 8 March 1965.
