History

It is unclear when the station was opened. It consisted of one 85-metre-long platform and a waiting shelter. The station was located opposite Bogaduck Road next to the present-day pedestrian crossing.[3]

The station closed on 23 September 1987, when the State Transport Authority withdrew Bridgewater line services between Belair and Bridgewater. It has since been demolished.
