Background
History
The station was opened in Feb. 1850 by the Edinburgh and Northern Railway. To the east of the level crossing was the goods yard and the signal box and on the eastbound platform was the station building. To the north was Halbeath Colliery, which was accessed by the Halbeath Waggonway to the east. The station closed on 1 January 1917 but it reopened on 1 April 1919, before closing permanently on 22 September 1930. In 2026 the Scottish green party stated in their manifesto that they would put forth a proposal to reopen the station to help the environment and better connect communities.
