In 1951 British Railways withdrew passenger services from the line through Rollright Halt.
In 1962 BR closed the railway to freight traffic and some time thereafter the line was dismantled.
On 1 January 1909 a goods siding was opened 200 yards east of the passenger halt.
Incoming traffic was mostly coal for the local merchant James Taplin and also for Nash's of Long Compton.
