Opened 3 February 1862 on the original S&DJR main line, the railway was reduced to branch status when the extension from Evercreech Junction to Bath was opened. It was built with a passing loop on the single line however the loop was removed in 1929 at the same time as the signal box.[1] It was reduced to halt status on 4 November 1957 and closed with the railway, on 7 March 1966.[2]
