Description

This was a single platform station on a single track railway. There was a goods dock at the east end and sidings, with a goods shed, on the south side. The station building was a small neat stone built cottage on the platform. There was no signal box, but a covered ground frame on the platform by the level crossing.

The station was initially called Cleish Road, Cleish being some 2.5 miles away to the south. Balado was just to the north.
