Passengers cannot enter or leave the station; it is only for passengers travelling to or from Foxford or Ballina, who transfer to or from Dublin–Westport trains.[1]
The signal cabin at the eastern end was destroyed in the Irish Civil War and was replaced by one at the Westport end.[4]
The station was closed to passengers joining or leaving the railway network in 1963; however, passengers can still disembark to the platforms for connections to and from the Ballina branch line.[4]
In 1988, the signal cabin was replaced by a portacabin-style structure on the island platform.[4]
On 5 September 1910, a train overran signals and 15 people were injured. The night mail had run into the engine of the branch line train and it was found shunting procedures at Manulla needed to be changed.[4]
