History

The station opened on 25 January 1909 by the Newburgh and North Fife Railway.[1][2]

The goods yard was to the north.[3] The signal box closed in 1928 and was replaced with a ground frame which allowed access to the goods yard.[4] The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939.[5] At least part of the station buildings were used to provide camping apartment accommodation for holidaymakers from sometime in the 1950s until the early 1960s, there was accommodation for six people.[6]

The line and station closed to passengers on 12 February 1951.[1][7] The line closed to goods traffic on 5 October 1964.[8]

gollark: I assumed 100 bytes per message (actual string, plus timestamp, user ID, channel ID, SQLite overhead) and multiplied by 500k, and I think 50MB or so is a tractable amount to store. Although I do still want a packed representation.
gollark: I'm not changing it because I would have to update so many config files.
gollark: But not vote because UK bad.
gollark: I'm apparently old enough to change my legal name here now.
gollark: Hmm, that's only 50MB then, seems fine.
