The station opened on 1 October 1869[1] when the Midland Railway extended its Line from Melbourne.
The line was further extended in 1874 from Worthington to Ashby de la Zouch.
In 1945 the War Department returned the line and station to the LMS.
In 1980 British Railways closed the line and by the 1990s the track had been dismantled.
National Cycle Route 6 now joins the trackbed at the site of the former station.
