The station is a request stop to start the tour of the Kinneil nature reserve.
[1] It is located in the area previously occupied by Kinneil Colliery and as a result, the railway in the vicinity is very tightly curved and has a speed limit of just 10 mph due to possible subsidence.
Between 1985 and 1989 it was the line's terminus and included a loop which has now been partially removed.
The original station was opened by the North British Railway on 2 January 1899 and closed on 22 September 1930.
