[edit] History

The station had a goods yard on the north side of the line to the east of station (on the other side of Kilmarnock Road. This was served by a signal box on the south side of the line opposite the yard. The signal box was closed on 16 October 1961 as part of the electrification scheme.[1]

British Railway demolished the station building, replacing it with a shelter in the late 1980's. In 2006, housing was built on the site of the goods yard.
