The station was originally opened as Stirling Road station on 8 January 1842 by the Wishaw and Coltness Railway, not adopting its present name until becoming part of the newly opened Caledonian Railway Main Line extension from Beattock on 15 February 1848.[1] It was rebuilt by the Caledonian Railway around the start of the 20th century,[2] but passed to the control of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) upon its formation on 1 January 1923 under the terms of the Railways Act 1921 until the nationalisation of the "Big Four" and the resultant creation of British Rail (BR) on 1 January 1948. Thereafter, control of the station, in common with all of those on the WCML north of Gretna, became the responsibility of BR's Scottish Region until the formation of the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (GGPTE) on 1 June 1973. Under the terms of the Transport Act 1968, the specification of timetables, fares and quality standards for all rail services within the erstwhile Strathclyde region became the responsibility of the PTE, with trains and stations receiving their distinctive corporate colourscheme from 1985. However, in November 2005, these powers were transferred to the Scottish Executive and were subsequently passed to Transport Scotland upon its creation on 1 January 2006. Consequently, both the station and the rail services which call thereat are today operated by First ScotRail on behalf of the Scottish Government.
