History

The station opened as Lennoxtown (Blane Valley) in 1867 as Lennoxtown by the North British Railway. A second platform was going to be added but a loop was laid instead; this was later lifted. There were no goods facilities here as they were at the old station. The station closed in 1951.[1]
