History
The station opened on 1 July 1852 by the St Andrews Railway. The signal box was on the west side of the stone cutting. It became a terminus when the southern part of the line closed in 1965. The signal box closed in 1967 and the station closed, along with the line, on 6 January 1969.[1] There is a campaign to reopen the railway called StARLink.[2]

gollark: In the UK I imagine that if you wanted to do maths at a cool™ university you would have to have decent grades at it, at least, and have some good explanation for why you want to study it.
gollark: Well, in that case, bees them.
gollark: I'm still not particularly sure about what sort of thing™ I want to do at university myself, which is somewhat troubling as I have to apply in a year and write a personal statement and such somewhat before then.
