The railway line between Bletchley and Bedford was built in 1846 and later absorbed into the London and North Western Railway. The station building was constructed in that year in an attractive timber framed gothicised style, reputedly insisted upon by then Duke of Bedford for any new railway buildings in the vicinity of the Woburn estate. After a continuous rundown of the station infrastructure through the years, in 1968 it eventually became an unstaffed halt and the station building was sold into private ownership. By virtue of its importance as a surviving early Victorian country railway station it was Grade II listed in 1975.
