History
The station was opened on 1 February 1862 by the North British Railway. The station was situated on a lane from Bellingham to Lanehead to the east of the bridge south of Charlton. The platform was made of timber and there was a siding 200 yards east. The station was short-lived, as it was only open for one year and eight months. The siding survived for a bit longer.[1]
gollark: Apparently quite a few people there ended up just trying to bodge together PHP code from examples they'd seen, which is probably not a good foundation for reliable code and stuff. I assume that most *running* hatcheries are OK, though.
gollark: I'm reading "Coding a Hatchery" and it's slightly worrying.
gollark: Because I'm bored.
gollark: YOU.
gollark: Or ***BLOOD***.
