Passenger services on the line, which came under the control of the South Yorkshire Joint Committee began on 7 December 1910 and were jointly operated by the Great Central Railway and the Great Northern Railway.

The Great Northern Railway left this arrangement after just one year leaving the G.C.R.

Construction was in wood, which on its closure on 2 December 1929, made easy to relocate.

It was moved to serve an army camp in Scotland during the Second World War.

The station closed in 1929, but the line's freight services passed to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.
