Arbroath Railway Station

Arbroath railway station serves the town of Arbroath in Angus, Scotland. The station is 27 km (17 miles) east of Dundee on the line between Dundee and Aberdeen.

There have been three stations called "Arbroath", two of which closed in 1848. One - Arbroath (Catherine Streeet) - served the North British, Arbroath and Montrose Railway and Arbroath and Forfar Railway; the other - Arbroath West - was on the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. The current station was originally opened on February 1, 1841 as a link station to connect the Arbroath and Forfar Railway with the Dundee and Arbroath Railway. The station was modernised to become the main station in December 1911.
