The Lynn and Ely Railway (L&ER) had opened between King's Lynn and Downham on 27 October 1846.[1] On 25 October 1847, the line was extended to Ely; but in the meantime, on 22 July 1847, the L&ER had amalgamated with the Lynn and Dereham Railway and the Ely and Huntingdon Railway to form the East Anglian Railway.[2] The station was opened with the line to Ely.[3] It closed on 1 February 1870, re-opened on 1 July 1885, and finally closed on 22 September 1930.[3]
