History
editThe station was opened on 1 May 1872 by the North British Railway. It was also known as Macmerry Gladsmuir in the handbook of stations. On the south end was the station building and the signal box and to the south of the platform was the goods yard as well as its sidings. Also to the south was a mineral line which served Merryfield, Engine, Bald and Dander pits. The mineral line closed in 1907 and was replaced by a new one, which was to the east and served Penston Colliery and Penston Briar Pit. The station closed on 1 July 1925.[1][2]
