The station is likely to have opened with the line in 1905 but the first documented evidence showing it open is on 14 August 1914 when it was used the Officer Commanding Railway Troops to say goodbye to the first mobilised Railway Company departing for France.
[1] The station was situated immediately to the north of the ungated level crossing over Oakenhanger Road.
There was a block post, the Army's name for a signal box, between the road and the start of the platform.
[4][5] At the opposite end of the platform there was a junction with lines going Louisburg Barracks and a set of sidings.
