The halt opened on 18 December 1922 and closed on 3 March 1952. It was named after the nearby Roman road.
The halt along with almost all the intermediate stations on the Bishop's Stortford–Braintree branch were little used. The halt was built in a rural area. The village centre of Takeley is still rural and Stane Street and Takeley stations were very close together. However to try to boost passenger numbers, the owner of the line introduced a bus service. However the hoped for passenger numbers never materialized.
It closed to passengers along with the rest of the Branch.
