The station site is now under Sheppard's Close, a modern residential development.[1] The trackbed is now a rail trail, part of the Milton Keynes redway system.[2] There is commemorative column on the site of the final signal post just short of the station site.[3]
The London and North Western Railway opened a small motive power depot at the south side of the line near the station in 1886. This was closed 15 June 1955 and demolished.[4]
