Tynehead Railway Station, station masters house and ticket office is situated on the SW side of the crossroads of the B6367 and B6458 and at road level above the deep railway cutting. The house was connected to the platforms by long ramps, one of which survives on the W side (down side) of the former trackbed. A few concrete stanchions for the railings were noted on the W ramp. The platforms are now heavily overgrown.
The station built c.1847 as part of the North British Railway, Edinburgh to Hawick Branch railway and the house is a single storey L-plan sandstone building, renovated to form a dwelling house.
The station opened in 1847-48 and was closed along with the rest of the Waverley Line in January 1969.
