Approaching the meagre remains of Broughton station heading east towards Peebles along the trackbed of the Symington, Biggar and Broughton Railway on Boxing Day 2011. The old island platform, now being used to stack logs, is all that survives of the railway here. This platform dates from 1896 when Broughton effectively became a three platform junction station following the opening of the Talla Railway. Today the site is now fully secured, with one of several warning signs attached to the gate reading 'Beware Dobermann'.
