The station was also the terminus of the Cornhill branch line to Coldstream which closed for passengers in 1930.

It was replaced by a station nearer the town centre opened in 1887 by the North Eastern Railway.

The station then passed on to the North Eastern Region of British Railways on nationalisation in 1948.

The platforms have been in-filled, but the trainshed remains intact and in use, including by Barter Books.
