The station opened in April 1883, originally with three platforms, the main platform of which had a weatherboard signal cabin, ticket office and the resident engineers office, like the one at Ambleside. It served as the junction station for the Mount Pleasant railway line between 1918 and 1964.
The island platform had a shelter shed, this smaller platform has been removed but is unclear when, probably around 1995. The goods platform and goods shed still remain. The yard layout has been rationalised in recent years, with the removal of the dead end siding at the eastern end of the yard, and the conversion of the goods siding to a dead-end siding, now used to stable track machines. The 80-90 metre long platform has since been fenced off due to safety and vandalism.
