Persley (1903-1937)

Opened on the Great North of Scotland Railway.

Description

This was a two platform suburban station in Aberdeen. The main station building was on the eastbound platform. There were no goods facilities.

The line was doubled between Kittybrewster Junction and Dyce back in 1861, many years before the station opened in 1903.

Mugiemoss Road crossed the line just to the east of the station.

The station closed in 1937 with the withdrawal of local trains,

The line between Dyce and Aberdeen was singled in 1971.

Nothing remains of the station. A new bridge crosses the line, just to the east of the original which still stands.

The line has been redoubled (2019).
