The station was situated on the south side of an unnamed minor road. The goods yard consisted of three sidings with the siding closest to the main line passing through a large goods shed. The yard was equipped with 1¼ ton crane and could handle live stock.[2][3]

The station became a junction when the Lauder Light Railway was opened on 2 July 1901, the station's name was changed to Fountainhall Junction from this date.[4]

The Lauder branch closed to passengers on 12 September 1932 and to goods on 1 October 1958.[5]

The station was host to a LNER camping coach from 1935 to 1939.[6] A camping coach was also positioned here by the Scottish Region from 1958 to 1960.[7]
