Built to carry freight, primarily the product of local lead mines, the line eventually opened to passengers. The passenger service was run by the North Eastern Railway, which took over the line in July 1876. The station was unstaffed and renamed Elrington Halt in August 1926. It was closed to passengers in September 1930 and completely when the line closed on 20 November 1950.
