The branch was opened in 1859, but Hacheston Halt was not opened until 1922 in an attempt by the Great Eastern Railway to improve the passenger receipts on the branch.[2] Hacheston Halt was a very basic station and did not even possess a platform so passengers had to use a ladder to get on and off the trains that called at the station.
The station was served by trains that operated between Framlingham and Wickham Market; Withdrawal of passenger services in November, 1952.
