History

The station was opened in 1946, replacing the Sleeps Hill halt which was provided with step-down platforms south of the Sleeps Hill Quarry Sidings, approximately 500 metres south of Lynton station.{{cite book|last1=Callaghan|first1=WH|title=The Overland Railway|date=1992|publisher=Australian Railway Historical Society|location=Sydney|isbn=0-909650-29-2|page=239}}

In 1995, the western side platform was closed when the inbound line was converted to standard gauge as part of the One Nation Adelaide-Melbourne line gauge conversion project. The eastern side platform was rebuilt in 2007.
