History
[edit]The station opened on 11 August 1857 by the East of Fife Railway.[1]
The station had one platform to the north of the running line, there were two sidings behind the platform forming a small goods yard able to accommodate a limited range of goods including live stock, they were unable to deal with vehicles needing to be loaded on trains, the yard was equipped with a 1½ ton crane.[2][3]
A camping coach was positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1953 to 1963, and there were two coaches here from 1956 to 1961.[4]
The station closed to passengers on 6 September 1965.[1] The line closed to goods traffic on 18 July 1966.[5]
