The station opened in 1847 on the
Syston and Peterborough Railway, but until 1849 it only had a service on
Melton market days. It closed in 1961. There were no goods facilities at the station.
Stationmasters The station masters house was one of the smallest and cheapest on the line between Syston and Melton Mowbray. It was little more than a gatehouse and this may have contributed to the relatively fast turn-over of station masters. • John Thomson ca. 1851 - 1874 • J.
