This line is closed. The line was opened from Tweedmouth on the former Newcastle and Berwick Railway (by this time owned by the York, Newcastle and Berwick Railway) and ran west towards Kelso, crossing the English/Scottish Border near Carham station. It was, like the Kelso Branch (North British Railway) line which it met at Sprouston Junction (just outside Kelso), a double track line. It was met by the single track Cornhill Branch (North Eastern Railway) at Coldstream.

This station on the East Coast Main Line was south of the Royal Border Bridge and at a junction with the line to Kelso. The location was a station, junction, locomotive shed, yard and start of a zig-zag line to dockside (Tweed Dock).
