Location

Alva railway station was a station in the village of Alva, in the Scottish county of Clackmannanshire. The station was the terminus of a branch from Cambus on the Stirling to Dunfermline Lower line.

History

Opened by the Alva Railway, as part of the North British Railway it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923, passing on to the Scottish Region of British Railways during the nationalisation of 1948. It was then closed by the British Transport Commission.

The site today

The east of the site of the station has been overbuilt by a housing estate. In 2024, the west side of the site is a small copse of trees and a path. No remains of the station exist. ^[1]
