This was a two platform station. The main building was on the southbound platform. Platforms were slightly staggered, the northbound platform being slightly to the north.
The goods yard was on the east side, south of the station, accessed by reversal from half way along the northbound loop line. The goods line crossed the southbound line. There was a goods shed at the south end of the yard. New Luce itself was about a half mile to the east.
The original signal box, of 1877, was at the south end of the northbound platform, replaced with one to the north of the building on the southbound platform.
The station closed in 1965. The loop closed in 1971 when the signal box closed too.
A new house occupies the site of the goods shed. The station building, which was similar to that at Barrhill, has not survived.
