 It has been unmanned since automation in 2002 when the traditional level crossing gates were replaced with modern lifting barrier controls.This crossing, despite only serving a nearby farm, is typical of the rural community and features a large (now derelict) gatekeeper's two storey house, once alleged to have been home to "Blackcurrant Jack", somewhat of a local legend who was once employed as crossing keeper and used to walk the line collecting blackberries for making jam between the train services.The original crossing keeper's house, which had been derelict for many years, was demolished in February 2018 as part of a new development taking place near the railway line.
