The station was located at the end of the narrow gauge steam-operated railway line from Douglas via St John's to the town of Peel.

A loco shed was also provided on the south side of the station.
Most trains from Douglas to Peel were combined with trains to Ramsey. The two sections split at St John's. The IoMR timetable for July 1922 shows twelve trains arriving at Peel from Douglas on weekdays. Nine were "split trains", whilst three were complete trains from Douglas.
On the 13.11.1965, Peel Station closed along with the entire Manx rail network due to the condition of the track which had received minimal investment for many years. The Douglas to Peel line was re-opened following a rescue package on the 3.6.1967. Services once again started running to Douglas. However the newly launched services did not last very long and Peel Station closed to passengers along with all of the Douglas to Peel line stations on 7.9.1968. A goods service to Ramsey ran from Peel from 13.8.1968 until the 29.4.1969. After this the station site became derelict. In 1973 the track on the Douglas to Peel line was sold for scrap and lifted in 1974/75.
Today, the building is part of the display area for the History Museum "House of Mannanan".
