Pitmedden (1874-1964)Station code: National Rail
Opened on the Great North of Scotland Railway.
Description
This small station had a level crossing to the east. The platforms were in timber with small timber shelters.
The westbound platform was the original when first opened, the eastbound added when the line was doubled.
The line was doubled between Dyce and Inverurie in 1880.
The signal box was eight sided - semi-regular octagon; a rectangle with the corners cut off. The base (which still exists) was stone, main building in brick. It was not a block post but a fine gate box.
There were no goods facilities.
The station closed in 1964.
The line was singled between Dyce and Inverurie in 1969. When singled the eastbound line was lifted.
The signal box closed in 1973 when replaced with barriers.
The station house still exists to the north of the site.
The next station west was Kinaldie and east Dyce. Today the nearest station to the west is Inverurie.
The line has been redoubled (2019).
