Cardrona Station

Cardrona railway station, near Peebles, was opened in October 1864, on the route to Innerleithen. The service ran until the line was closed in February 1962. Much of the original station still stands, and used for other purposes, as will be seen in  this set of photographs, taken by Lynda Braithwaite. 
The former platform is still clearly visible. 
Station buildings.
The railway bridge. 

Instead of the railway, there is now a bus service, seen passing Cardrona.  
The bus shelter and part of the road is now on the former trackbed, in front of the old station platform!
