Originally Gorebridge Station was on the Waverley section of the North British line, which opened on the 12th of July 1847. Its introduction to Gorebridge was responsible for much of the town's prosperity in the mid to late 19th century. The station platform is no longer in place, but ran along the NE elevation.
