The station was opened by the North Staffordshire Railway in 1894 as simply "Rolleston" but was renamed to avoid confusion with Rolleston Junction station.

A goods loop ran behind the secondary platform to serve the station yard.

A replica of the former running in board has been erected on one of the platforms.
