History
The station opened on 18 April 1864 by the Border Union Railway. 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, 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.[1]
