In 1921, there were 14 additional shuttle services between the two towns using a petrol railcar purchased by the Great Central Railway (GCR) (successor to the MS&L); it was nicknamed the Bollington Bug.

[5] The Bug was replaced in 1935 by a Sentinel steam railcar that ran the shuttle service, until it was withdrawn at the start of 1939.

[6] The station buildings were built to NSR designs, as were most other structures on the MB&M,[7] while most train services were operated by the MS&L and later the GCR;[8] an exception to this being the NSR Summer Saturday services between Macclesfield and Buxton.

[8] The station closed in January 1970, along with the line between Macclesfield and Marple; the buildings were demolished and the track was lifted by the end of 1971.

The former trackbed now forms part of the Middlewood Way, a shared-use path between Macclesfield and Marple.
