The station was host to a camping coach from 1936 to 1939 and could possibly have had a coach in 1933 and/or 1934.Шаблон:Sfn

The line then passed on to the Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was subsequently closed by the British Transport Commission on 26 April 1954,Шаблон:Sfn although goods traffic continued until the Redmire to Hawes section closed to all traffic in 1964.
