Information
Type: Jersey Eastern Railway
Opened: 1873
Closed: 1929
Platforms: 2

The station was opened by the Jersey Eastern Railway in 1873 as one of the original stations when the railway opened. Grouville was the railway's Eastern terminus for several weeks until the opening of Gorey Village. The station had a passing loop and two platforms though the railway was quiet enough most of the time for only one of the platforms to see much use. The station had a siding for goods but this was little used and eventually lifted.

The railway was unable to compete with competition from bus companies, train services ceased in 1929, the railway was liquidated in 1932. Grouville's main station building survives as a private residence.
