History

The station opened on 12 July 1847, by the North British Railway. The station was situated to the north of an unnamed minor road. There was a goods yard to the south of the station and two private sidings, one to the west over a river and one to two of the Vogrie group of collieries with a steep loco-worked incline.[1] The colliery was near Esperston Lime Quarry, as well as a newer signal box and the northern sidings. The station closed in 1943 to passengers but was used for railway staff until 1959.[2]

Rail accident

A fatal accident happened on 10 January 1937 when a shunter driver, William Patrick Egan, died during a shunter operation. He was stuck between the engine and the wagon buffers. He was 36 years old when he died.[1]
