Probus and Ladock Halt was opened by the Great Western Railway on 1 February 1908 between St Austell and Truro. Characteristic Great Western Railway corrugated iron waiting shelters were provided on both of the wooden platforms.

The station was nearer to Probus than Ladock, indeed Grampound Road railway station was also convenient for the latter village. Tresillian was another village within easy reach of Probus and Ladock Halt.

The Great Western Railway was nationalised into British Railways from 1 January 1948 and the station was closed on 2 December 1957.
