The station has three platforms, although only two are in use, the third being the former branch-line platform for the Toronto line that closed in 1990. North of the line is a balloon loop for the Newstan Colliery that is served by Southern Shorthaul Railroad hauled trains.
In 1984, a footbridge was installed as part of the electrification of the line. It was replaced in 1994 when lifts were added.[5]
