It was one of numerous railway stations closed at that time that Flanders and Swann included in their song Slow Train released that year.

The line was proposed for closure following the Beeching Report and, because of this, was mentioned in the song "Slow Train" by Flanders and Swann.
These delays occur in addition to long travel times south of Bridgewater, where the main north/south railway line follows the River Derwent through Hobart's northern suburbs, across 21 level crossings which require slow train speeds to minimize the risk of accidents.
Passenger service to Bryn consists of the local slow train between Asker and Lillestrøm Station (line 400).
