The Highland Railway had opened their station named Buckie (H.R.) two years previously, on a branch from Keith, but this closed in 1915.
The GNoSR was absorbed by the London and North Eastern Railway in 1923 and became part of British Railways when the railways were nationalised in 1948. The station and line was recommended for closure by Dr Beeching's report "The Reshaping of British Railways" and closed on 6 May 1968.
