The station was one of the stations that closed for the Second World War. It was reopened by the London and North Eastern Railway on 7 October 1946. The Sunday services may have not been restored after it reopened. The station first closed to passengers on 15 September 1958 [1] and closed completely on 7 June 1965. [2]
