History
The station was opened on 26 May 1856 by the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. To the east were two sidings, near the goods yard, which served Levenbank Print Works. A siding to the south was used to park a goods train. The platforms were eventually extended. A signal box was built in 1892. The station closed to passengers on 1 October 1934.[1] The signal box was downgraded to a ground frame in 1949. The station closed to goods in 1964. The track was lifted in 1966.[2]
