Description

This was a one platform terminus opened in 1906. There was a timber station building and a goods shed. To the south was Bankfoot Shed.

After closure to passengers in 1931 the platform was cut back to around two coach lengths. The line remained open for goods.

After closure of the branch in 1964 the station building remained on the platform as a milk bar at a caravan park. The site has since been cleared for housing.
