History


The railway line between Happendon (then called Douglas) and Muirkirk was built by the Lanark Railway, and it opened for goods on 1 January 1873; passenger services were introduced on 1 June 1874. The Muirkirk and Lesmahagow Junction Railway (M&LJR), which was a line 2+1⁄4 miles (3.6 km) long connecting the Lanark Railway at Poneil Junction with the Lesmahagow Railway at Alton Heights Junction, opened for goods on 2 April 1883; passenger services being introduced in 1894.
The station at Douglas West was opened on 1 October 1896 by the Caledonian Railway, which had absorbed the Lanark Railway, the Lesmahagow Railway and the M&LJR. It was situated to the south-west of Poneil Junction, where the former Lanark Railway line was met by the former M&LJR line. There were two platforms connected by a footbridge; close to the southbound platform was a signal box and behind that a goods shed.
Passenger services over the former M&LJR line were withdrawn on 11 September 1939.
The station was closed by British Railways on 5 October 1964.
