Opened in 1904 and closed a decade later it was part of a concerted effort to boost revenue and thus see off competition from the burgeoning tramway network.[5] The station's only platform was on the down line, the up line being out of use.[6] The final nail in the line's coffin was a government directive issued shortly after the declaration of war[4] that railways unable to support themselves would cease operations at the earliest opportunity; and, as the line clearly fell into this category, the last train ran early in August 1914.[3]
