History
At one time all goods trains had to stop here for inspection before proceeding. On the bleak section beyond the station the London, Midland and Scottish Railway constructed water troughs to permit longer non-stop passenger express runs to be included in the schedules of the Scottish Division.[1]. The station closed in 1965 but was reopened in 1991.
Services
Monday to Saturdays there is a two-hourly service northbound to Glasgow Central and southbound to Carlisle with two trains per day northbound towards Stranraer and three southwards to Newcastle.
Sundays two trains a day travel in each direction towards Glasgow Central and Carlisle.
