History

The station was opened on 16 June 1910 by the Plymouth, Devonport and South Western Junction Railway. It had a siding which would have served Phoenix Works, although this closed in 1883. The station was only used for parties at the nearby Phoenix Park Pleasure Ground and was a request stop. It was regularly used until 1914 but it last appeared in the September 1917 timetable, although it was still mentioned in the 1938 edition of the handbook of stations as accepting passengers and parcels.[1] It was last mentioned in this in 1944.[2]
