History

The station opened as Lennoxtown Blane Valley on 1 July 1867 as Lennoxtown by the North British Railway. A second platform was going to be added but a loop was laid instead; this was later lifted. There were no goods facilities here as they were at the old station. The station's name was changed to Lennoxtown on 1 October 1881. It closed on 1 October 1951.[1][2]
