[2] The line opened in stages: on 14 March 1883 from Adelaide to Aldgate, on 28 November 1883 to Nairne, on 1 May 1886 to Bordertown and on 19 January 1887 to Serviceton.
[3] However, a station at the locality of Coombe was not established until 23 January 1913.
When the CTC safeworking system was installed on this section of the line, the station was rebuilt with a small brick building similar to those that still exist at Coomandook and Wirrega.
When AN ceased all intrastate passenger services in South Australia including the Blue Lake, the station closed on December 31, 1990.
The passenger building and platform are now disused, but the 1550m crossing loops remains in use.
