A sand drag and buffer stop are positioned beyond the furthest point normally reached by trains, to protect the footpath into the car park from the possibility of a train overrunning. The car park on the right is on the site of the former railway station here; the current station is on the edge of what would have been the goods yard, a bit further from the town centre.
