History
The railway was incorporated on 6 August 1897.[1] The line opened on 25 January 1909.[1] The line was worked by the North British Railway (NBR), however the railway remained independent until grouped into the London and North Eastern Railway on 1 January 1923.[1]
The line closed to passengers in February 1951,[2] and closed progressively to freight between April 1960 and August 1964.[2]
