StationName and dates
Farnell Road (1848-1956)Opened on the Aberdeen Railway.
Description
This station is closed and the main building is now a private house. The stone road underline bridge to the east of the site has been removed (it was Tudor styled and survived until about 1975 - a near identical bridge survives just east of the former Dubton station).
The main building was on the southbound platform. There was a long siding on the northbound line, approached by reversal. The signal box was at the west end of the southbound platform.
The station closed in 1956, the box closed in 1965 and the line closed completely in 1967.
The very small village of Farnell is just to the north.
