The station was opened by the North British Railway and the line passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948. It was closed by the British Railways Board in 1968.[1]
The disused track bed is now a cycle and footpath, forming part of the City of Edinburgh Council's Quiet Route 9.[2] The platforms and ticket office of the former station remain in place.[3]
