The station building, platform and a semaphore railway signal remained disused but in situ. The building was used as a sailing school starting from 1969, that school integrated the "Glénans Irish sailing club" in the 80s. In 2011 these were incorporated into the French "École des Glénans". That club left the building end of 2013, it is disused since.
