[edit] History
The station was originally opened as part of the Lanarkshire and Ayrshire Railway on 1 May 1903.[1] It closed on 1 January 1917 due to wartime economy,[1] and reopened on 1 February 1919 as Patterton for Darnley Rifle Range (sometimes referred to as simply Patterton for Darnley).[1] It was renamed back to Patterton by British Rail.[1]
The station is fully operational today.
