In July 2017, it was announced that the station was benefitting from a grant of £72,000, which would allow the installation of a passing loop, a water tower with water cranes, a footbridge and a signal box with working levers. The footbridge and signal box have been donated by Network Rail from redundant areas when upgrades have been carried out. In 2019, the passing loop was opened and the footbridge donated from Brigg Station in Lincolnshire, was refurbished by Cleveland Bridge in a not-for-profit scheme. The signal box is from the Furness Railway and was previously located on the Cumbrian Coast line.
