The station was opened by the
Mansfield Railway along with Mansfield Central and Kirkby-in-Ashfield Central stations in 1917. The line and its stations were worked by the
Great Central Railway and became part of the
LNER in 1923 and subsequently
British Railways in 1948. The station was conventional and spacious. Most passenger trains plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe and Ollerton. Goods and timetabled passenger services ceased on 3 January 1956, though summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe continued until 1962. The line through the station was closed on 7 January 1968, subsequently lifted and the station was demolished. ==References==
