History
Opened by the London Midland and Scottish Railway to serve local housing estates built after World War 1.[1][2] The station was located on the west side of the railway at Westbourne Avenue with a connecting footbridge between the two parts of the road.[3]
The station structure was a simple wooden building.[4] There was a platform on each side of the tracks.[5]
The station passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, only to be closed by the British Transport Commission six years later.[6]
After closure
The station is believed to have been used for Rugby League specials[7] and holiday traffic[8] after closure.
By 2015 the station site was buried under the A579 road.[9]
