History[edit]
This interface was part of the section between Santa Apolónia and Carregado on the Norte line, which opened on September 28, 1856.[1][2] On January 9, 1936, the Ministry of Planning approved a draft notice to the public regarding its opening, with the status of a halt.[3] In 1985 this interface was described as having two platforms (usual for a station on a double track line), with no passenger building. It ceased to appear on the Azambuja line timetable on December 13, 2009,[4] because its operation was no longer justified after the closure of the Navy school.
