The station itself was opened by the Great Northern Railway. The station buildings were designed by Thomas Chambers Hine.
The Great Northern and London and North Western Joint Railway opened in 1879 from Saxondale Junction, a few miles east of the station. The London and North Western Railway then provided a Nottingham to Northampton service which ceased in 1953.
