The station and the line it serves were built by the South Eastern and Chatham Railway and the London, Chatham & Dover Railway respectively, and the station was opened in 1914. It was formerly known as Snowdown & Nonington Halt and formed the junction with the extensive sidings of the Snowdown Colliery Railway.

The station has no booking office but a "Permit to Travel" self-service ticket machine located at the top of the staircase leading down to the Dover-bound platform caters for all ticketing.

Services

The typical off-peak service from the station is one train per hour to London Victoria via Chatham and Bromley South, and one train per hour to Dover Priory.
