Like Newby Wiske and Pickhill, the station opened with one platform although it was rebuilt and lengthened while another was built when the line was doubled in 1901. The goods yard was located behind the station buildings with a single set of coal drops. A loading dock was provided on the up side where there was also a cattle dock. The main freight that was handled at the station was barley, with 797 tons being handled in 1911. In 1913, 218 tons of livestock were handled at the station.
