A sign at Berwick-upon-Tweed station noting that the station is on the site of Berwick Castle. The full text reads: This station stands on the site of the great hall of Berwick Castle. Here on 17th November 1292 the claim of Robert Bruce to the crown of Scotland was declined and the decision in favour of John Baliol was given by King Edward I before the full parliament of England and a large gathering of the nobility and populace of both England and Scotland.

A now disused bay platform at the southern end of Berwick-upon-Tweed station. The fact that it is electrified suggests that it was still being used at the time of the 1980s electrification of the East Coast Mainline. Photo by Chris McKenna 05/03/2005.

A merged view of Berwick-upon-Tweed station, taken from the southern end looking north. The large space to the right and the juxtaposition of London and North Eastern Railway buildings with the singularly unatractive modern bridge to the sole island platform suggests that this station, the most northerly in England, was once far bigger than it is today. Note also the electrified bay platform on the extreme right of the picture, although the track has been lifted the OHLE remains. Photo by Chris McKenna 05/03/2005.
