History[]
The station was opened on 7 July 1828 by the Monkland and Kirkintilloch Railway. As well as being a passenger station, it was also a goods depot. It was served by intermittent services that didn't last long. The first service was horse-drawn, which ran on 8 July 1828. Services stopped shortly after. Services resumed in late 1839 but stopped again in 1840. They resumed again on 26 December 1844[1] but stopped permanently in 1846. It remained open as a goods depot in the 1960s.[2]
