Stobs Railway Station

Stobs railway station was a railway station that served the hamlet of Barnes, Scottish Borders, Scotland from 1862 to 1969 on the Border Union Railway. HistoryThe station opened on 1 July 1862 by the Border Union Railway. The station was situated at the end of a short access road off an unnamed minor dead-end road to Barnes and west of the B6399. The station was originally called Barnes, but the name was changed to Stobs in September 1862.

The goods yard consisted of a single siding behind the down platform and near a cattle dock.
