History

The station opened on 1 December 1859 by the North British Railway. [1] The station was situated on a lane to Catheugh 200 yards northeast of the centre of Barrasford village. A siding adjoined the line opposite the platform and there was a further loop to the northwest. Both of these were controlled by a signal box, which was at the northwest end of the platform.

The station was host to a camping coach from 1936 to 1939. [2]

The station was closed to passengers on 15 October 1956 but remained open for goods traffic until 1 September 1958, although it was downgraded towards an unstaffed public siding. [1] [3]
