Description

This was a small two platform station. Platforms were staggered, the eastbound being slightly west of the westbound. There was a single storey stone building at the east end of the eastbound platform and small timber waiting shelter on the westbound. At the east end, on the south side of the line, was a goods yard added in the 1880s. The signal box was at the east end of the platforms.

The station closed to passengers in 1955 and the line closed in 1965.

Railway cottages, which were to the west of the station, on the north side of the line, remain in use as houses. The loading bank also remains. The trackbed is now a dirt road.

The station site was on the south bank of the River Tweed, around half a mile from Twizell Castle to the south east.

Alternative, later, spelling: Twizel.
