Ellon survived until 1965, when passenger services were withdrawn from the Formartine and Buchan Railway due to the Beeching Axe.

The trackbed of the main line was initially preserved, before becoming the Formartine and Buchan Way, a long-distance cycle path.

At the station site itself, no buildings survive, however the platforms and base of the water tower are still extant.

However some of the trackbed is still visible from Golf Road, next to the McDonald Parklands housing estate.
