The station opened on 16 November 1863 by the Berwickshire Railway. The station was situated immediately east of a new road which now bypasses the building and the road overbridge which also survives. The station closed to passengers on 13 August 1948[2] but goods traffic continued until 1965. The station building survives and is a private residence. The platform has been landscaped as a garden.[3]
