Description

This two platform station opened on the re-gauged and rerouted line. The main station building was on the eastbound platform. The original alignment was to the north, starting from west of the station and running east to Girtridge Mill. The west end of this original route was retained as a siding for the station - on the north side of the line and approached from the west. To the east was a goods yard, on the north side of the line and approached from the east.

The station's signal box was on the eastbound platform, just west of the station building.

To the east a mineral branch ran north to Craig Coal Pits Nos 1 and 2.

The signal box closed in 1960 and the station in 1969.

The line remains open but has been singled, the westbound line having been lifted. The station building is now a house. A road bridge over the line to the east of the station remains in use.

Drybridge station was the closest to the village of Dundonald just over a mile to the south.
