The station opened in April 1883 but never had a regular passenger train service. This was confirmed in an edition of The Railway Magazine, published in May 1932.[1] Instead, it was used only for specials bringing visitors to Waltham Fair or to race meetings at Croxton Park until at least 1907[1] or 1906.[3] The Eaton Branch Railway began at "Eaton Junction" immediately south of the station. It served the ironstone quarries that surrounded the village of Eaton. From 1916 to 1918, it was used for military specials serving Harrowby Army Camp,[1] after which it was used for freight or occasional enthusiasts specials until completely closed in 1964.[4] GNR|col=000000}}{{end}} References1. ^1 2 3 {{Cite book | last=Aldworth | first=Colin | authorlink= | coauthors= | title=The Nottingham and Melton Railway 1872 - 2012 | year=2012 | publisher= | location= | isbn= | page= }} {{Closed stations Leicestershire and Rutland}}{{coord|52.8318|-0.8158|type:railwaystation_region:GB|display=title}}{{EastMidlands-railstation-stub}}2. ^Forgotten Railways, The East Midlands 3. ^Private and Untimetabled Railway Stations by G.Croughton and others {{ISBN|085361 281 1}} 4. ^A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain.
