Opened in 1877 by the Great Western Railway as the terminus from St. Erth on the Cornish main line, the main station platform used to be where the right-hand row of cars now is, with the tracks being where the left hand row of cars is. In 1971, British Rail shortened the line to end where the current station is, in the middle distance.
