Gretna railway station was a railway station close to Gretna Green in Scotland although the station was on the English side of the border. However the Border Union Railway built the station adjacent to the Caledonian Railway's Gretna station south on Gretna Junction and in the England/Scotland border in Cumbria.
The station opened on 1 November 1861. [1] It closed on 9 August 1915. [1]
As with the adjacent Caledonian station, very little remains of the station in 2008.
