The station was opened by the Great Western Railway in 1903 and became part of British Railways on 1 January 1948. The station was closed in 1968 but its closure was delayed due to the delay in nulling an agreement with the Duke of Badminton regarding trains stopping at the station.[1]
The station buildings and sections of platforms still stand derelict with trains passing through the site on the South Wales Main Line.
