A two-platform railway station on the East Coast Main Line in the Scottish Borders, Reston opened in 2022 to the southwest of the village centre. It is preceded by Berwick-upon-Tweed in England, 9 miles (14.5 km) to the southeast, and followed by Dunbar Railway Station, 16 miles (25.5 km) to the northeast. Operated by ScotRail, Reston Railway Station is unstaffed and includes a seventy-space car park.
The first station here was completed by the North British Railway in 1846. Three years later it became a junction with the opening of a branch line that peeled off initially only as far as Duns, but which was later extended to St. Boswells. This branch closed to passengers in 1951 and Reston closed in 1964. Following a sustained campaign by local residents and the Rail Action Group East of Scotland (RAGES), planning permission was applied for 2020 and work began on the new station the following year. A special train stopped to permit validation checks on the 23rd February 2022 and the station was officially re-opened for public service on the 23rd May with Transport Minister, Jenny Gilruth MSP, and Euan Jardine, Leader of Scottish Borders Council, in attendance. The project cost £20 million, funded by the Scottish Government.
