 The line closure was found to be illegal under the original acts authorising construction of the railway and British Railways were forced to reopen it in August 1956.However the station was not reopened as it was not mentioned in the legislation.After Parliament repealed the sections in question, the line was closed in March 1958 under the British Railways Branch-Line Report (prior to the Beeching Axe) and the track was lifted in 1960 from south of Sheffield Park to Culver Junction.
