Opened in 1860 by the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway on its line from Methley North to Castleford Cutsyke, this station closed to passengers in 1943. It was one of a trio of stations to serve Methley. Now there are none, and this building is situated in the middle of a housing estate. The line used to run roughly where the road now is.
