The station was not heavily used, but it had two platforms and remained open until the line closed because it was a crossing place where the otherwise single track route became twin track for a short distance, it also had facilities for locomotives to replenish their water tanks.
An accident involving passengers occurred at the station on 6 September 1866, before formal opening.
The station was host to a LMS caravan from 1935 to 1939. A camping coach was also positioned here by the London Midland Region from 1954 to 1955.
The line and station closed on 7 December 1964 as recommended in the Beeching Report.
