The station opened on 18 December 1870, closed and then shortly reopened in 1871. It closed on 1 October 1902. It was operated by the City of Glasgow Union Railway.[1] The bridge which carried the tracks to the station remains standing, as the line is still used by empty stock passengers trains to and from Shields Depot south of the River Clyde and occasional freight trains.
