A nine-road marshalling yard opened here in October 1941 to handle war-time traffic but after 1945 saw little use, handling mail vans, until 1958 when it was utilized as a temporary stabling point to accommodate locomotives whilst the turntable at Guildford MPD was under repair. During 1965/7 it was employed as a PW Depot in connection with the Bournemouth Electrification Scheme. The yard closed on May 8th, 1967 and the lines lifted.
