It was located immediately to the north of the Canterbury Road overbridge.
The station was closed with the rest of the Outer Circle on 12 April 1893, but was reopened on 14 May 1900, to serve passengers on the so-called Deepdene Dasher shuttle service.
After reopening it only had one track and a platform on the east side of the line.
An 18-lever frame was provided at the Lilydale line connection, later reduced to 16 levers.
Earth fill obtained by widening the cutting at that point was used in the regrading of the Lilydale line.
