History
editThe station was opened on 9 May 1881 by the Great Western Railway. It closed on 5 March 1928 but reopened three weeks later on 26 March 1928, only to close on 22 September 1930,[1] although it was used for work trains to the Tremains factory from 6 October 1941 as well as unadvertised services. Coal traffic from collieries continued until 1960. The workmens' trains ended in 1947. Any passenger trains after that date were excursions.[2] The line was taken out of use in February 1962 and lifted by May 1964.[citation needed]
