(Location cited as NO 067 251). An unusual 2-storey, red-brick building, on a T-plan, now a dwelling-house. There are still a platform seat and porters' barrows on the overgrown platform.
J R Hume 1977.
The station house has been converted for domestic use. The line of the trackbed is not easily discerned but a short length of the N platform can still be traced, as can what was evidently a station yard to the W of the station house.

This intermediate station on the Perth (Almond Valley Junction) - Crieff branch line of the former Caledonian Rly was opened on 1 January 1858 by the Perth, Almond Valley and Methcven Rly. It was closed to regular passenger traffic 27 September 1937 and to goods traffic on 25 January 1965.

Note (1 August 2024)
According to contemporary newspaper reports, services commenced at Almondbank Station on 1st February 1858, rather than January (Perthshire Advertiser and Strathmore Journal, 28th January 1858).

Note (1 August 2024)
The Perthshire Advertiser (September 8th 1951) states that says ‘Almondbank…will continue to deal with passenger train parcels and miscellaneous traffic, which will be conveyed by freight train to connect with the passenger train service'. This suggests although the station closed to passengers in 1951, it continued to be used for goods traffic.
