History


Sometime after the opening of Coalburn railway station in 1891, Bankend railway station opened. It was the terminus of the Coalburn Branch, and closed in July 1926.[1] There was also a Bankend Tramway around the same time.[2] As a result of opencast coal mining, the mining village of Bankend was obliterated.[3]
