History edit
The station opened on 18 April 1864 by the Border Union Railway. It was originally planned to open a week earlier but problems were encountered with Byreburn Viaduct. The goods yard consisted of three sidings, one of which passed through a cattle dock and continued through a goods shed and out of the other end. After its closure to passengers on 15 June 1964,[1] the station was still open to goods traffic, although the passenger track to the platform had been lifted. Final closure was on 18 September 1967.
