There was a station platform each side of the railway track, with the signal box on the Newton side of the crossing. There was a goods siding on the south side of Station Rd, on the Harston side.

The railway station opened on 1 April 1852; it closed on 17 June 1963. A small part of the former northbound platform remains in situ in 2014, but otherwise all remains of the station have gone.
