Notes

 

In 1950 accommodation was two lock up garages somewhere.

1999        Station received a new pitched and tiled roof.

The 1973 station is built on the same site as the 1951 station, but the 1951 station fronted onto Maxwell Street with the drill yard where the 1973 station is and the 1973 station fronts onto Craignair Street.
