The station building was designed in 1865 by the Lancaster-based architects, Paley and Austin, for the Furness Railway.[1] Though it remains, it is in private residential use.
Facilities
The station is unstaffed but now has ticket machines available, allowing passenger to buy before boarding. Shelters are located on each platform, along with digital information screens and a PA system. Access to the northbound platform is via a user-worked barrier level crossing,[2] so whilst it has step-free access disabled travellers should exercise caution when crossing the line.[3]
