Later to be leased and then part of the Great North of Scotland Railway the station became part of the London and North Eastern 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 on 28 February 1966.
The station had been the location of a Camping coach.
