It was closed by British Rail in 1991;[1] all stations had to be lit at night on safety grounds and it was deemed not worth the upgrade.[2] Train services were officially "suspend[ed] ... until further notice" with effect from 18 November 1991; the "unsafe condition of the platform" was given as the reason.[3] The line is still open, but trains no longer call at the station.
