Network Rail is seeking permission to refurbish the Grade II listed waiting shelter on the southbound platform.

A separate application has been lodged seeking listed building consent for repairs to the signal box

Both were damaged during Storm Arwen in November 2021, although Network Rail has conceded they were in poor condition before that.

No passenger facilities exist on this side of the station as train departures (one in the morning and one in the evening) to Newcastle are from the up platform, where a noteworthy passenger waiting room still stands see image [[16285]]. Until 1951 Chathill was also the western terminus of the North Sunderland Light Railway, opened in 1898, running to the village of Seahouses on the Northumberland coast.
