The station was opened in 1838 as part of the London and Birmingham Railway.

This was because of the confined site, being hemmed in by the Grand Union Canal and A5 road.

The station became part of the London and North Western Railway in 1846, which itself became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923.

The line then passed on to the London Midland Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The only physical remains of the station today is a former goods shed alongside the tracks.
