The station had two platforms and a station master's house.[3] In 2024, as part of the Carlisle Southern Link Road construction the station house was demolished, having up until that point existed as a private residence. The platforms were previously demolished many years ago. Brisco station proved to be unviable and the decision was made to close it in favour of Wreay railway station that was located nearby.[4]
