The station opened as Brandon Siding in July 1861 by the North Eastern Railway. It was situated on the west side of Station Road. The station's name was changed to Brandon Colliery after a full service was introduced on 1 March 1878. The station gets its name from the nearby Brandon Colliery which closed in 1968. The station itself closed to passengers on 4 May 1964 and to goods traffic on 10 August 1964.[1]
