[edit] History

The station opened on 1 May 1903 and was simply known as Lugton.^[1] It closed between 1 January 1917 and 2 March 1919 due to wartime economy,^[1] and upon the grouping of the L&AR into the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923, it was renamed Lugton High on 2 June 1924.^[1] The station closed to passengers on 4 July 1932.^[2]

Little remains of this station today, aside from the stationmaster's house and related buildings, the abutments of a bridge crossing the A735 to the south, and a large embankment to the north.
