The branch line was opened by the Oswestry and Newtown Railway in 1863 to access limestone quarries along the Llanfyllin valley. The branch later became part of the Cambrian Railway and later still the Great Western Railway. The branch line, along with Llanfyllin and the three intermediate stations was closed in 1965 along with the line between Oswestry and Welshpool from which it had branched off.

The station had a running around loop and a small goods yard with a shed. An industrial estate now occupies the station site though the station building and goods shed still survive.
