The station was opened in November 1907.[2] It was between New Lynn station and Avondale station. It closed at the same time as the Croydon Road and Westbrook stations, also on the Western Line, on a six-month trial basis on 18 August 1980,[3] with the closure being made permanent on 16 August 1981.[2] No trace of this station or its side platform remains today.
