A siding close to the Walton Park halt ran to a raised concrete platform at the end of an embankment. See Detail map or old OS map. The quarry had a narrow gauge tramway which ran down the embankment to the raised platform to deliver stone which was tipped into the WC&PR wagons. The narrow gauge wagons ran down controlled by a winding drum, and hauled back up using an electric winch. A piece of standard gauge track still exists at the far end of the siding at the base of the loading platform, and a small piece of narrow gauge track exists on the top of the embankment, but both are in a very poor state. (Aug 2009).
