The station was opened by the London and North Western Railway on 1 July 1884 as the terminal of the 4.25-mile (6.84 km) Bethesda branch line.[1]

The station was host to two LMS caravans from 1935 to 1939.[2]

The station closed to passengers on 3 December 1951 and was totally closed on 7 October 1963.[1][3] Since closure the station building has been demolished and only a short section of platform remains.[4]
