The station was never intended for general public use. In 1901 it carried more than 1700 workers daily on workmen's trains to the Vickers shipyard and the surrounding company housing. These trains ran from Шаблон:Rws, Шаблон:Rws and Шаблон:Rws. Initially the station had just one platform, but a second was added in 1915.Шаблон:Sfn
