History

The station opened on 18 July 1848 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. It closed on 1 February 1892 so it could be relocated to open lines for Glenfarg and Forth Bridge as it initially only went as far as Ladybank.[1][2] The old station was demolished in 1902. The second station closed on 15 June 1964.[3][4]
