On 1 March 1978, the station became the eastern boundary of the State Transport Authority network.

The station building on the main platform was burned down by arsonists in 1983.

The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew services on the route between Belair and Bridgewater.

The offices and island platform were demolished around 1990, while the brick relay console and main platform were demolished in November 2006.

A small part of the platform fencing, light poles, and the dirt mound that formed platform 1 are all that remain of the station.
