The station building is now let as a holiday cottage and the old platform is still visible. The platform and track bed have been converted into a garden with a fenced pond. Torver station was on the Foxfield to Coniston branch of The Furness Railway. It was only provided with a single low platform; the red sandstone coping stones still bear a few faint traces of white paint on the platform edge more than 60 years after the line closed to passengers.
