It was downgraded to a request stop on 1 April 1880 due to a dispute with London North Western Railway but the normal service resumed in June of the same year. ^[1] The suffix 'halt' was added to its name in 1954. The station closed on 9 September 1963. ^[2] The site is now a private residence. ^[3]
