History

The first station opened as Kinross on 20 August 1858 by the North British Railway. It closed in 1860 [1] but a second station opened in the same year as Hopefield. It was renamed Kinross Junction on 1 October 1871 when the Devon Valley Railway opened. It was closed and resited 200 yards north in 1890. [2] The signal box was to the south. It replaced the north signal box, which was burned down in the 1890s. The station closed on 5 January 1970. Only a section of the wall remains. [3]
