Description
This was a two platform station with the main building on the southbound platform.

Two sets of sidings were later laid out on the east side, north of the station (one was a refuge siding - another existed south of the station on the west side)).
The station closed to passengers in 1956. The box closed in 1966.
The railway remains open.
Drumlithie itself is a little to the north west.
