History

The station opened on 7 November 1859 by the Glasgow and South Western Railway. The goods yard and the signal box, which opened in 1878, were to the east. The signal box closed in 1946, being replaced by a ground frame.[1] The station closed to passengers on 2 January 1950 and closed to goods on 1 July 1959.[2] The site is now a caravan park.[3]
