History
The station used to have two platforms, along with an overall roof, although the second platform and the roof have been demolished.
For approximately five months in 1979, this was the terminal station for a shuttle service to Edinburgh Waverley. The shuttle service was provided after the East Coast Main Line was blocked due to the collapse of Penmanshiel Tunnel. Buses linked Dunbar with Berwick-Upon-Tweed, from where rail services to London Kings Cross resumed.
