The station closed in 1966, the line closed for passengers in 1968 and for freight in 2000. Nothing remains of the former station, with the exception of the former toilet block, which is concealed by undergrowth which has built up since the station closed.
A plan by the Bramley Line to restore the line between Wisbech and March may see trains return to Coldham in some form.
