The station has two waiting halls one for Upper Class and one for General Class ticket holders. The waiting halls are very small and difficult to handle large number of passengers. Indian Railways have given a complete makeover with massive transformation to station under Railway's beautification and redevelopment initiative.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Devanjana |first1=Nag |title=Indian Railways Sainagar Shirdi railway station gets a beautiful makeover!

The station doesn't have cloakrooms and any kind of book stalls. The railway track ends at Shirdi railway station and no train leaves further which makes difficult to catch other trains if one misses the train.
