Description

This station was on the deviation which allowed the Balbeuchly Incline to close.

This was a single platform station, on the north side of the line. To the west, on the other side of a bridge over a minor road, was a goods siding, approached from the east.

A portion of platform remains. The goods yard is now a car park. The trackbed is a footpath.
