Newstead railway station or Bradshaw railway station, as it was referred to in early editions of the timetable, was a railway station that served the village of Newstead, Melrose, Scotland, from 1849 to 1859 on the Waverley Line.

History

The station opened in November 1849 by the North British Railway. The exact location of the station is not confirmed, but the station was believed to have been at either side of Haseldean Lane. The nearby goods yard may have been adjacent to the site of the station, but there is little information. The station disappeared from the timetable in October 1852 so. It was presumed to have closed to passengers and it closed completely in 1859 or after.^[1]
