Cove Bay railway station served the suburb of Cove Bay, Aberdeen, Scotland from 1850 to 1956 on the Aberdeen Railway.
History
The station opened as Cove on 1 April 1850 by the Aberdeen Railway. The name was changed to Cove Bay on 1 October 1912. The station closed to passengers on 11 June 1956[1] and to goods on 28 October 1963.[2]
Future
In 2020 the north-east of Scotland transport body Nestrans secured £80,000 from the Local Rail Development Fund to explore the potential for additional stations between Aberdeen and Laurencekirk, including at Cove and Newtonhill. Whilst a property developer has lodged proposals for 167 new homes close to where locals are calling for the new Cove railway station to be built,[3] council officers have said there could still be space for a railway halt or station to be accommodated within the site.[4]
