It was on the Midland Railway's Rolleston Junction to Mansfield line.

The station closed to passengers on 12 August 1929[2] when the Mansfield to Southwell section, which passed through a mining area, closed to passengers.

The railway replaced it with a road motor omnibus service provided in conjunction with Mansfield and District Tramways Limited connecting with the railway stations between Mansfield and Newark.

The station and goods shed remain as private residences.

A branch of the Southwell Trail multi-user path passes through the station site, linking the A614 road to the main route of the trail just east of the station.
