Background
History
The station opened in August 1861 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated at the end of a minor road. Some timetables misspelled it as 'Twizel'. To the south was the goods yard, which opened in the 1880s. A goods siding was installed in 1882. On the up side of the line was a signal box, which opened in 1880, and was rebuilt from timber in 1900. In 1951 only 537 tickets were sold. On 9 December 1953, the station was downgraded to an unstaffed halt and the goods yard closed. The last passenger train called on 2 July 1955, with the station closing two days later.
