History edit
The station opened in October 1844 by the Wishaw and Coltness Railway. To the west were two sidings and a turntable. To the southeast was the signal box. Behind the platform was Allanton Brick and Tile Works, which one of the sidings may have been used for. The station closed in 1848 but reopened three years after another station of the same name on 15 May 1867. It closed again on 1 January 1917 but reopened on 2 June 1919, before closing permanently on 1 December 1930.[1]
