The Byron Bay Railroad Company commenced a rail service to Byron Bay with a 660/720 class railcar from its resort three kilometres north of the town in December 2017.^[12][13] However, it does not extend to the existing station, terminating north of the Lawson Street level crossing some 300 metres (980 ft) away.^[14][15][16]

The heritage-listed complex includes a timber station building in a type 4 timber standard roadside design with a brick-faced platform that was completed in 1894. A timber shed was also completed in 1894, while a timber skillion roofed signal box was completed in 1913. A water tower on Butler Street with a brick base and rivetted iron tank also dates from c. 1894.

Byron Bay had one platform, with a passing loop and siding at the northern end of the station. It was served by trains from Sydney including the North Coast Mail until 1973 when replaced by the Gold Coast Motorail which in February 1990 was replaced by an XPT service.^[17]
