Newmachar railway station was a railway station in Newmachar, Aberdeenshire which is now closed. The station was later bought by the local run 'Whytes Bus Coaches' in the mid 1980s, who relocated to their current location at Mill Pond, half a mile out of Newmachar, leaving the old station building untouched to this day.^[2][3]
