History

Opened by the Caledonian Railway it became part of the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the Grouping of 1923, passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways during the nationalisation of 1948. It was then closed by the British Railways Board.

The site today

Trains pass at speed on the electrified West Coast Main Line but there is no station at the site now. The station site is now the location of passing loops to enable slower trains to be recessed to allow faster trains to pass.
