History
The station opened as Old Ormiston on 17 July 1856 by the Jedburgh Railway Company. To the east was the goods yard. The station's name was changed to Kirkbank on 20 May 1868, despite the fact that it was situated almost a mile away from Kirkbank. The station closed on 13 August 1948.[1] The station House still exists.[2]
