The station was opened by the London North Western Railway in 1858. The station was closed in 1965. A new station opened in 1989 a few hundred metres to the north as part of the re-opening of the Chase Line. The original station was a much grander affair with a brick station building, platform canopies and a goods yard [1].
The current station is unstaffed and has the usual bus shelters and information points. It is managed by West Midlands Railway, services are currently operated by LNWR branded units. In 2019 electrification of the Chase Line through Bloxwich up to Rugeley Trent Valley was completed.
