The main building with booking hall, waiting rooms etc. was located on the south side of the line, approached from Tiviot Dale. It had an ornate Jacobean-style external facade incorporating a long covered portico. There were four lines passing through the station, the central pair permitting goods and other trains to pass through without affecting trains stopping in the two main passenger platforms. There were shorter stub lines to the outer sides of the main platforms to accommodate local trains. A covered footbridge with an unusual arched profile linked the two sides of the station. Tiviot Dale signal box was located just west of the station on the south side of the lines.
