[2][3] The line was operated by the Great Western Railway and absorbed by that company on 2 August 1898.

[5] In 1941 the station's goods sidings were further modified and extended in connection with airfield construction in the locality, and a new signal box with a lever frame that had been relocated from the Cornish Main Line at St Germans.

A second, metal, bridge was also built at this time to carry the road over the new goods yard access lines.

In April 1957, Nancegollan won £10 (£238.65 in today's money[8]) in the British Railways Western Region Station Gardens Competition.

Goods traffic continued for a further two years, finally ceasing on 5 October 1964; the track was lifted by mid-1965.
