Goods facilities included a brick goods shed, and a steel portal framed shelter was added when the Freightgate centre during the 1980s. During 1988, a number of sidings were removed, including the oil siding at the up end, and No. 6 road.[3] In 2008, the points for the crossing loop were removed.[2]
In December 2010, a siding was provided for the stabling of track maintenance machines.[4]
