It was at the end of a short branch line that ran from Woodhall Junction[1] which opened on 11 August 1855.

[2] Like many fairly rural stations it was eventually shut as the rail network was cut back, with passenger service withdrawn from 13 September 1954[2] and goods and freight terminating on 5 April 1971.

[3] The station building was demolished in 1985 and the site is now occupied by Bush Tyres and by the Granary Way Housing Estate.

The only surviving evidence is a gate post at the entrance to the goods yards.

[4] The track bed to Woodhall Spa survives as a long-distance footpath.
