The treadle for the barriers at New Lane is just beyond the crossing so that they will rise even when a four coach train is standing in the platform. A Southport to Stalybridge service calls on 13th September 2021, viewed from the staggered down platform. The substantial stone railway house, similar to many others at stations and crossings on this line, is privately occupied with the door to the old ticket office, just beyond the bay window, blocked off.
