The former Royal Station Hotel and Restaurant has been converted into residential accommodation and beyond that is a small collection of houses, some modern, including a terrace of former LNWR railway cottages. Situated on the West Coast Main Line, the station is now an important marshalling point for commuter trains from here for most stations to London Euston. There are five full length (12-car) platforms, with one side platform and two islands. To the east of the station are some south facing sidings connecting to the slow lines. Platforms 1 & 2 are the fast-line platforms, platforms 3 & 5 are the slow-line platforms and platform 4 is a platform used by starting and terminating services to /from Euston and additional through trains southbound.
