At Colwich the LNWR and NSR agreed to own and operate the station jointly, a situation that remained until both railways became part of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923.Local passenger services over the former NSR route were withdrawn in 1947 and all other services were withdrawn from Colwich in 1958 when the station was closed.The former stationmaster's house remains and is now a Grade II listed building.
