Opened by the Bedford and Northampton Railway on 10 June 1872,[1][2] the station was a mile from the village of Turvey.

[5] However, a small hamlet developed around the station, including a public house called The Railway Inn.

[9] With the introduction of local bus services, passenger bookings fell from 13,207 in 1913 to 7,989 in 1922.

[3] Closure of the station to passenger traffic came on 5 March 1962, leaving the goods yard to remain open for freight until 6 January 1964.

The platforms have been demolished but the station building remains as offices used by LC Services Ltd which has redeveloped the rest of the site[12][13][6]
