Portgordon railway station was a railway station in Portgordon in Moray, Scotland. The railway station was opened by the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) on its Moray Firth coast line in 1886,[1] served by Aberdeen to Elgin trains. In 1923 the GNoSR became part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) and at nationalisation in 1948 became part of British Railways. The station was named Port Gordon railway station[1] until 1938 when it was renamed 'Portgordon' by the LNER.
The line was recommended for closure by Dr Beeching's report "The Reshaping of British Railways". Both the line and the station closed to regular passenger traffic on 6 May 1968.[1][2] A photograph of 1968 shows a name board with 'Port Gordon' clearly displayed.[3]
