History

The station opened in May 1852 by the North British Railway. It initially had two platforms but it was later reduced to one when the line was singled. To the northeast was the goods yard which had a loading bank and a shed. A viaduct was built over the Whiteadder Water to support the railway. The station closed to passengers on 10 September 1951.[1]
