Name and dates

Ninewells Junction [Station] (1864-1865)

Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.

Opened on the Dundee and Perth Railway.

Description

This short lived station was to the immediate east of Ninewells Junction itself.

Nothing remains of the station. It was to the west of the Riverside Drive bridge, built long after the station had closed.

The road which became Riverside Drive ran south from the Perth Road to the station site, ending by the station, and the station site was still obvious for years afterwards because of the footpath which ran down to the platforms.

Ninewells Hospital is just under a mile north west from the former station site.

When open this was an area of low population.

Local

Just to the south of this former station is Dundee Airport .
