This was a two platform station nearly two and a half miles north of Lanark.
After the opening of the Lanark Railway in 1855 it became a junction station for the new branch. Trains from the Motherwell and Glasgow direction could take the branch south.
There were two short platforms on the west side of the level crossing. A goods shed was to the west of the station, on the north side, approached from the east. The main station building was on the eastbound platform. Waiting shelters were on each platform.
The proximity of the goods yard prevented the platforms being lengthened and the east end was constrained by the level crossing. Possibly due to the lack of space the signal box was on the east side of the level crossing, south of the line. It closed with the station in 1965.
The station house remains standing, little else remains of the station. Cleghorn Junction to the east of the level crossing and Mouse Water viaduct remains open for Lanark.
