Berriedale station after the end of suburban working. Goods shed, lavatory block and up and down stations with waiting rooms and station master/operating porter office. The Berriedale-Claremont Junction section of the miniature electric block was used weekdays until the station ceased being manned in late 1967. An operating porter from Glenorchy or Claremont Junction manned it on Show and Regatta Day's when the block section was operated again.

This station ceased being manned permanently in 1967 but was staffed by Traffic and Signalling staff on peak days like Regatta and Show Days when the miniature electric block Berriedale-Claremont Junction and Berriedale-Glenorchy sections were activated.
