A small road leads down from Gorton Road to the station and its car park:
The front of the station building, which is still in use although the ticket office had already closed by the time we visited on a Saturday afternoon:

Steps lead up from the car park to Criterion St:

The rear of the station building, which has a stubby wooden canopy and a fading mural about railway safety:

Looking west along both platforms:
