StationName and dates
Crumstane (1849-1852)Opened on the Dunse Branch (North British Railway).
Description
This was a short lived station probably opened with the line in 1849 and closed in 1852. Also known as Crimstane. It was just over a mile east of Duns. It was a two platform station, the platforms being on an embankment immediately east of a bridge over a minor road.
The Duns branch was initially double track, reduced to single.
It was to the immediate east of Crumstane Farm and a pair of sidings ('Crumstane Siding') were to remain here afterwards, on the north side of the line and approached from the east. These were the goods yard of the station, just east of the former platforms.
The location has been ploughed out, to the west the railway embankment and a bridge over a minor road remain intact. A railway cottage (appropriately named 'Crumstane Lye Cottages') remains nearby to the north.
