Between the junction and the bay platform was a loop to allow the branch trains to run round. Malt Barns Siding was on the branch, approached by a headshunt. There were also sidings on the west side of the junction, approached from the branch.

The branch closed to passengers in 1950 and completely in 1957, although a short length was retained for access to the sidings.
The box survived until 1966 for access to the sidings when replaced with a ground frame.
