History
The station was opened by the
nationalisation in 1948, to be then closed by the British Railways Board in 1968.[1]
The train journey from Corstorphine Station to Edinburgh Waverley Station took 11 minutes.
The site has since been built over by Mactaggart & Mickel, and is now occupied by the Paddockholm Estate.[2] Station Road nearby is named for the former station.[2]
