The station opened on 20 April 1847[1] as part of theKendal and Windermere Railway.

The two original platforms were staggered, with theup platform located on the Windermere side of the access crossing, and thedown platform located on the Kendal side. Designed and operated as a busy main line double track railway, through trains operated between Windermere and a variety of destinations, including London.

Freight services were ended on the line in 1972, and the gradual reduction in passenger services culminated in 1973 when the line was reconfigured as asingle-track railway, resulting in the closure of the formerdown platform. All trains, in both directions, have used the originalup platform since 1973.
To the east of the station can be found the only two semaphore signals on the line guarding the manually operated road crossing.
