The station is unstaffed and has no ticketing provision, so all tickets must be bought prior to travel or on the train. There are no permanent buildings here other than standard waiting shelters on each platform.[3] Train running information is offered via digital display screens, timetable posters and automated announcements; a help point is also provided on each side. Step-free access is possible to both platforms.[2]
