The last passenger train ran on 5 September 1964 and the last goods train on 22 May 1967. The station site is now under Sheppard's Close, a modern residential development.[1] The trackbed is now a rail trail, part of the Milton Keynes redway system.[2] There is commemorative column on the site of the final signal post just short of the station site.[3]
