Once popular with visitors to the nearby Totternhoe Knolls and ramblers, the station closed against a background of falling passenger numbers and declining freight returns.
The station building has survived into private ownership, but a section of the alignment to the east and west of the site has been taken into the A505 Leighton Southern Bypass.
The station building house was adjacent to the crossing on the down side and wooden passenger waiting shelters were provided on each platform.
Increased traffic led to new sidings and a crossover being installed in 1916; the connection was controlled by a signal box containing a seven-lever ground frame.
The signal box which controlled access to Tottenhoe Lime siding was moved in January 1969 to the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway.
