Eyemouth railway station served the village of Eyemouth, Scottish Borders, Scotland from 1891 to 1962 on the Eyemouth Railway.

History

The station opened on 13 April 1891 by the North British Railway. The Eye Water flooded on 12 August 1948, which caused the station to close the day after, although it reopened on 29 June 1949.[1] It closed again, along with the branch, to both passengers and goods traffic on 5 February 1962.[2] [3]
