The station was opened by the London North Western Railway in 1905 as a halt. The station was closed as a wartime economy measure in 1917 but re-opened in 1919 [1]. The station had very low ground-level platforms with wooden huts for station buildings.
The platforms were raised to standard height in 1959 [2]. The station became unstaffed in the 1980s. The two platforms are staggered either side of a level crossing. The level crossing was controlled by a signal box until the line's modernisation. The station is managed by London Northwestern Railway who operate trains on the line between Bletchley and Bedford.
