Remotely situated, the station only ever served a small part of the community (and the local golf course). This, combined with an infrequent service, and the later introduction of a tram service on Warren Drive, meant the station was little used, and it was closed on 1 October 1915.[1][2] The station had one siding nearby, on the seaward side, which was possibly used for the transportation of sand.[3] The foundations of the up platform are extant, and were revealed during engineering work in 2006.[1] The line past the station site remains in use as part of theWirral Line, now operated byMerseyrail.
