Its timetable entries show trains calling on Saturdays only (Market Day). It only appeared in public timetables from November 1856 to October 1866. In 1866 no evidence of the station could be seen on OS maps,. It is possible that this was a "use it or lose it" stopping place where no platforms were built. The line through the station site closed on 7 September 1964.
