To the northwest was a private line that served Overtown Station Colliery and Coltness Iron Works.
The station disappeared from Bradshaw in March 1848 but reappeared in April 1850.
A second station opened in January 1881, rendering this one obsolete so it closed on 1 October 1881.
There were no goods facilities but it had a footbridge and station buildings.
