Although the line had opened in 1890, station facilities at Bawdrip were not provided until 7 July 1923, after petitioning by local people. The new halt was surprisingly popular, with 2,185 passengers using it between 7 July and 29 September 1923.
It consisted of a single concrete platform 140 feet long; a waiting shelter was provided during 1924.[1]
The station closed when the branch service was withdrawn on 1 December 1952.
