The station has three platforms.
Platform 3 sees only occasional passenger use, but is used for stock storage.
Platforms 1 and 2 are in regular use.
Both are linked to a central locomotive release road.
These two platforms and the central release road are all supplied with terminal headshunts, all of which are linked via a complex tri-directional set of points.
Platforms 1 and 2, and the release road, are all protected by an overall station roof. (
These platforms were originally numbered 2, 3, and 4, but were re-numbered as 1, 2, and 3 as the original platform 1 had been subsumed into the new Aylsham locomotive depot.)

The modern station buildings contain a cafeteria, booking office, staff room, shop, administrative offices, toilets, and entrance foyer.
Additionally, a substantial wooden building has been set up on platform 3 by the supporters association, the Friends of the Bure Valley Railway.
There is a large car park.

Alongside the station is the railway's Aylsham Locomotive Depot, a large three-track engine shed, capable of housing all the railway's locomotives.
Behind the locomotive depot is the railway's main engineering workshop, equipped to carry out running repairs or full-scale locomotive overhauls.
This facility also contains locker rooms, wash rooms, and administrative offices for the railway's engineers.

The operating facilities of the station also include a turntable, several sidings (used primarily for engineering vehicles), facilities for fueling and watering locomotives, and a signal box containing the main line control centre, from which computerised control and radio communication are used to operate the block section system of train control.
