Passenger trains on the Severn and Wye Railway, north of Lydney, were withdrawn from 1929.

[1] The station was built by the Severn and Wye Railway which ran from Berkeley Road, over the Severn Railway Bridge between Sharpness and Lydney, following the route of the River Lyd to Parkend and finally onto Cinderford.

It also had a small goods yard with a facilities for coal, timber and general freight, the station being home to a wooden derrick crane.

Cannop Colliery closed in 1960, removing most of the freight traffic that passed through the facilities.

[5] This could also include a station at Bicslade Wharf, as part of this proposed forthcoming project.
