In 1969, the platform was 80 metres in length, with an 18.5-metre carriage dock and, in 1975, a crane and weighbridge still existed at the station.[2]
Since the closure of the line, the station building, platform and goods shed, and a short section of track, have all been retained. Tenants live at the station and look after it as a museum. The rail track still exists for 1 km on either side of the station, and some rolling stock has been put on display in the former station yard. Although the rest of the track has been removed, the railway reserve is still zoned for railway use, and the Daylesford Spa Country Railway has plans to restore the track to Trentham from its current terminus at Bullarto.[3]
