History
[edit]The station was opened in June 1923 by the London and North Eastern Railway. It was situated to the east of the RAF base. It had no other amenities besides platforms. Nothing was timetabled to stop there originally but it was shown in a 1947 timetable, showing that it was for military use only. The station closed on 14 June 1954.[1] Nothing survived by the 1960s.[2]
