The station was sold in 1969 to a local school, and then in 1995 to the Wansdyke district council, who leased it to the Somerset and Dorset Railway Heritage Trust to restore to its 1950s condition.

Today the trust runs an operational railway centre and museum at the site, and are relaying the 2 miles 2 chains (3.3 km) of track southwards up the gradient towards Chilcompton.
The plan is to eventually operate a ride-round trip over the route, which would require restoration of the former Chilcompton railway tunnel.
A road bridge over the railway, north east of the station has been removed, therefore relaying track on this side of the station would be expensive.

Neighbouring land leased to the station restoration project that had been part of the grounds of the now-demolished mansion Norton House has now been transferred to Silver Street Nature Reserve.
