The station was single-track branch line from Weston Junction railway station, midway between the present-day Worle and Uphill junctions, which terminated at a small station in Regent Street close to the High Street.

The trains on this first branch line were made up of two or three small carriages which were hauled by a team of three horses.

It was reported that when a strong wind was blowing towards the train, passengers sometimes got out and walked as it could be quicker.

The station had a train shed that covered two tracks, although only one passenger platform was provided

Between this and the High Street was the Railway Hotel and in the other direction, a level crossing was provided to carry the line across Locking Road, the eastwards continuation of Regent Street.

A small engine shed was eventually provided here to house the steam locomotive.

On 20 July 1866, a large passenger station was opened adjacent to this, which allowed the closure of Brunel's 1841 terminus and the elimination of the Locking Road level crossing, although a second one across Devonshire Road remained.

The new line and station were opened on 1 March 1884 This was not the end of the old branch line as, for several years, a trolley was taken along the old tracks to collect mail from a postal train at the old Junction station each night.
