Clovenfords railway station served the village of Clovenfords, Scottish Borders, Scotland from 1866 to 1962 on the Peebles Railway.

History[]

The station opened on 18 June 1866 by the Peebles Railway. It was situated on the north side of Station Yard. In 1880, the map shows a small station building and no goods yard but by the late 19th century the building had been enlarged and a small goods yard was provided. The goods yard consisted of a loop giving access from both sides and passed a cattle dock. At the south end of the dock, a siding left the loop and split; one road leading to a timber goods shed and the other going behind it. The station closed to passengers and goods traffic on 5 February 1962.[1][2]
