Fushiebridge railway station was a railway station that served Fushiebridge, Gorebridge, from 1847 to 1959 on the Waverley Route.

History

The station opened on 12 July 1847, by the North British Railway. The station was situated to the north of an unnamed minor road. There was a goods yard to the south of the station and two private sidings, one to the west over a river and one to two of the Vogrie group of collieries with a steep loco-worked incline.[1] The colliery was near Esperton Lime Quarry, as well as a newer signal box and the northern sidings.[2] The station closed in 1943 to passengers but was used for railway staff until 1959[3].

In September 2015, the Waverley Route partially reopened as part of the Borders Railway. Although the railway passes through the original Fushiebridge station, it was not reopened.

Rail accident

A fatal accident happened on 10 January 1937 when a shunter driver, William Patrick Egan, was killed during a shunter operation. He was stuck between the engine and the wagon buffers. He was only 36 years old when he died.[1]
