Burnmouth railway station

Burnmouth railway station served the village of Burnmouth, Ayton, Scotland from 1848 to 1962 on the East Coast Main Line.

History
There is some confusion about when the station opened. The North British Railway opened the line between Berwick and Edinburgh Waverley on 22 June 1846 but Burnmouth station was not mentioned in the early timetables, first appearing in Bradshaw in July 1848. Quick (2022) does note that the station was mentioned in a company timetable, effective from 17 February 1847, as a stop for the Wednesdays only Edinburgh cattle market goods train, which also carried passengers.

The original building for the station was a one-storey building on a T-plan, but it is now a private residence.

The station became a junction on 13 April 1891 when the Eyemouth Railway was opened, providing a branch line connection to Eyemouth.

The station was host to a LNER camping coach in 1939.

The branch to Eyemouth closed on 5 February 1962 and Burnmouth station closed completely at the same time.
