Opened on the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway.This was a two platform station. The street level building, still standing, is a two storey sandstone building with Tudor styling. The rear of this building had a canopy and steps descended to the platforms and footbridge.
The trackbed was crossed by a girder footbridge, which has been removed for re-opening and is now in preservation. There were waiting rooms at platform level.
Often re-instatement of a line sweeps away the remains of an old station, but the two platforms remain along with the original street level building., now a house
'and Dalkeith' was added to the name ten years after closure of the short Dalkeith branch terminus. To the north was the short lived Glenesk station.
A new station called Eskbank has been opened to the south on the site of Hardengreen Yard.
