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: > if you dont go to university and i do, i am going to annoy you by not shutting up about higher math and you will get annoyed.Hmm, that is a reasonable point, although I may do a non-maths subject?
gollark: Vaguely relatedly, I'm not sure if it would be more sensible to go to university, or not go to university.
gollark: I did look at UK income distribution statistics and they were somewhat surprising, really. But still, we have a roughly functional ish economy.
