Description

This was a single platform station with a typical North British Railway style building, a later addition. There was a passing loop to the north of the station. East of the station, over a level crossing, the line passed over the Guard Bridge Viaduct crossing the River Eden. By the level crossing was the ticket office in a stone built building. The signal box was on the south side of the line, west of the level crossing.

There was a goods yard on the west side, approached from the north. Just to the west was the Seggie Brick and Tile Works which had a tramway connecting it to a pit, just to the west.

To the north was, and is, the Guardbridge Paper Mill, although this closed in 2008 and is partly demolished. Part of the site is now the Eden Mill Brewery.

The station closed in 1965 and the box became a gate box in 1967. The line closed in 1969.

Little remains of the station, but the viaduct piers still stand. Houses have been built over the station site. Nearby railway cottages remain on Main Street, just to the north of the station.
