Most passenger services plied between Nottingham Victoria and Mansfield Central, with some extending to Edwinstowe[5][6] and Ollerton.[7]
Goods and timetabled passenger services ceased on 3 January 1956, though Summer weekend excursion traffic to Scarborough, Cleethorpes, Skegness and Mablethorpe continued until 1962.
The line through the station was closed on 7 January 1968 and subsequently lifted.
