The original station is demolished. The new station was built near the centre of Ripley. The station had double tracks, two platforms and matching single story station buildings. Today none of this remains. The station was demolished in 1985. A cycle and walk path now goes through the site of the station, while the other part is occupied by a builders merchant's warehouse. The only evidence of this once being the railway is the road bridge the cycle and walk path now goes under.
