Lindean railway station served the village of Lindean, Scottish Borders, Scotland, from 1856 to 1964 on the Selkirk and Galashiels Railway.

History

The station was opened on 5 April 1856 by the Selkirk and Galashiels Railway. To the west was Lindean Mill and to the east were two sidings. The level crossing was controlled by a ground frame. A few yards away from the platform was the stationmaster's house and behind the platform was a railway cottage. The station closed to passengers on 10 September 1951[1] but remained open for goods traffic. It was downgraded to an unstaffed public delivery siding on 13 September 1954. The platform was reduced to a mound and was demolished in 1961. The station closed to goods on 23 May 1964.[2]
