History
Opened by the Penicuik Railway, then run by the North British Railway, it became part of the London and North Eastern Railway during the Grouping of 1923. The line then passed on to the Scottish Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948, only to be closed by British Railways three years later.
The site today
The platform is still there although overgrown and the station building is a dwelling house.
gollark: Most customers want to maximize compute per *rack*, not per server.
gollark: I can't see this actually being very useful outside of weirdly specific scenarios, honestly.
gollark: It's only 50% more cores than previously. And the chiplet-y design is meant to make it easy to shove extra cores on if you don't care about power much.
gollark: I have slightly removed them by accident a few times.
gollark: My big disks are in my server and should never be unplugged *anyway*.
