A programme of archaeological works was requiring during the construction phase of the Borders Rail Link. This included standing building surveys and targeted watching briefs.

A watching brief was conducted at the location of the former Newtongrange Railway Station (NT 33191 64311). Sections of the platform on both sides of the track survived largely complete to the original track level, though the station itself had been largely demolished. Some brickwork, probably relating to the station buildings, survived in situ up to 5 courses high. The building remains were covered over and preserved in situ.
