Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox station Coldstream railway station served the town of Coldstream in Berwickshire, Scotland although the station was across the River Tweed in Northumberland, England. The station was on both the Alnwick to Cornhill Branch which ran from Alnwick to Cornhill Junction on the Kelso line near Coldstream and the Kelso to Tweedmouth line.
History
Authorised in 1845 the Kelso Branch was built by the North Eastern Railway to link the communities of the Tweed valley with the fledgling railway network at Шаблон:Stnlnk. The line opened in two stages, to Шаблон:Stnlnk on 27 July 1849, and to Шаблон:Stnlnk on 1 June 1851.
The Cornhill Branch project was authorized in 1882 to link the farming communities of north Northumberland with the market town of Alnwick and link the North Eastern Railway's Kelso line to its Alnwick Branch. Construction started by the North Eastern Railway in 1884. The line opened to freight between Cornhill and Шаблон:Stnlnk on 2 May 1887, and the whole line for both freight and passengers on 5 September of the same year. The line had difficulty attracting passengers as many of the stations were some distance from the communities they served. Increased bus competition in the 1920s led to passenger trains being withdrawn on 22 September 1930,[1] although the service resumed briefly during the Second World War to serve RAF Milfield near Шаблон:Stnlnk.[2]
After a severe storm in August 1948[3] washed away a bridge north of Ilderton station, British RailwaysШаблон:Sndwho had recently taken over the lineШаблон:Snddecided that the volume of traffic along the line did not warrant replacing it. The line was thus split into two, Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk, and Шаблон:Stnlnk to Шаблон:Stnlnk which included Akeld. This coupled with an infrequent service caused the line to go further into decline and the section from Alnwick to Ilderton closed on 2 March 1953 with the other section following suit on 29 March 1965.
On 15 June 1964 passenger services were withdrawn along the whole line between Tweedmouth and St Boswells. Freight services between Tweedmouth and Kelso followed suit the next year on 29 March with the complete closure of the line. Only one track of the double line between Kelso and Tweedmouth was initially lifted, but all track was removed in 1969 from St Boswells through to Tweedmouth following closure of the freight service to Kelso and complete closure of the Waverley Route.
