Construction on the line was completed in 1892 (shown on the 2nd edition OS map), but was closed to passenger trains in September 1931. The last 40ft of track at Hopeman and the buffer at the track end were removed in May 2007.

Also the remains of a bridge at NJ 12379 69127 which carried the railway over a track. It is a single-arched stone bridge.
