the goods shed survives, as does the great northern railway signal box, which is now used only to monitor a number of level crossings in the vicinity. helpston level crossing itself carries the helpston to glinton road over the four tracks of the ex-gnr line and the two tracks of the ex-mr line. this was previously two separate level crossings, controlled by two separate signal boxes. there was space for two cars between the level crossings. the crossings were merged and converted from gates to full barriers in the 1970s.
