History[]
The station was opened on 2 February 1863 by the Hamilton and Strathaven Railway. On the east side was the goods yard and at the south end was the signal box. There was a siding to the west which served a quarry and a siding to the east, called Fairholm Siding, which served Fairholm Colliery. A new signal box opened to the north in 1907.
