The original name of the station was West Linton, but it was changed to Lineside on 10 October 1870 and finally changed to Lyneside in December 1871. The River Lyne is near the station site. The station was situated on the north side of an unnamed minor road. There was a single siding with a loop but there was no goods yard.
