The station was an important intermediate stop and had a signal box that still survives. The level crossing over the B4385 has been automated since 2015.[3] The Great Western Railway withdrew passenger services on 9 February 1931.[1][4] and the line closed completely on 3 November 1956.[4] By 1963 the line had a passenger service restored by the Welshpool and Llanfair Railway.[5] The station officially reopened on 6 April 1963,[1] however due to damage caused by floods to the Banwy Bridge it was closed between 28 September 1964 and 14 August 1965.[1]
Two platforms are present and a passing loop that sees occasional use. The main platform is raised whilst the other is at ground level.
