The station was the scene of a crash in 1963 of the Enterprise, from which 200 people were able to walk away with only minor injuries.

The crash was caused by a faulty tyre on the wheel of the second coach, which broke just north of the station.

Although damage to the train and platforms was quite severe it remained upright, and the fact that the crash occurred where it did, and on a Saturday evening when traffic was relatively light, resulted in only walking wounded.

These upgrade works also saw the removal of the original wrought iron bridge over the tracks.
