The station had a relatively short life, opening on 1 July 1899 and closing 30 September 1939, although the track was briefly re-laid and the line re-opened for freight during the German occupation of the Channel Islands.[2]

The station building, platform and track bed are still extant, with the building having a large glass extension added in 2008.[3] A modern bus route that serves the same towns and villages ends outside the front of the station building.[4]
