History

The station was opened on 8 July 1929 by the Great Western Railway, although it was in the company timetable in July 1904 and used only for picnic parties. It became a regular stop on 16 March 1929 and the full service followed a few months later. Its full use was short-lived as it closed to passengers, along with the line's passenger service, on 9 February 1931. [1] [2]

There were two stations on the site, the first, called "Ashton", opened in either 1841 or 1852 and closed in 1856.
