History[]

The station was opened by the Midland Railway, and was absorbed by the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923. Passing on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, it was then closed by the British Transport Commission.

Present day[]

The station master's house still exists as a private residence. Trains on the Birmingham to Peterborough Line still pass the site.
