History
The station opened on 13 August 1849 as Dunse station by the North British Railway.[1] The name was changed to Duns in May 1883. The building on the up platform shared a building with the wooden goods yard. The station was closed with the rest of the St Boswells-Duns portion of the line due to flooding on 13 August 1948. The station was closed to goods traffic on 10 September 1951.[2]

gollark: Is this some weird scam-ish thing or are OAI *actually* sending recruitment emails to arbitrary people who did well in the Codex thing?
gollark: Well, people fall for regular non-NFT scams. So that isn't very unexpected.
gollark: As such, do not.
