A second company, the Deeside Extension Railway, was incorporated in 1857 to continue the line to Aboyne where it opened the station on 2 December 1859 as its terminus.

[1][2] The line was extended to Ballater by a third company, Aboyne and Braemar Railway, which opened on 17 October 1866 when the station ceased to be a terminus.

[4] A coach was also positioned here by Scottish Region of British Railways from 1954 to 1960.

[5] Aboyne Curling Pond railway station, also known as Loch of Aboyne Platform or Curlers' Platform,[1] was a nearby private station opened on the Deeside Extension Railway for the use of the curlers, who played on the nearby Loch of Aboyne.

[1][6] The line is now part of the Deeside Way footpath, while the station is home to a range of shops.
