Old Photograph Railway Station Dirleton Scotland
Old photograph of the railway station in Dirleton, East Lothian, Scotland. Dirleton station was a small affair, with a single platform and two sidings on the south side of the line. It closed to passengers on 1 February 1954. Although named for the village of Dirleton, the station was actually some distance away, approximately half way between Dirleton and Kingston. A plan to give Direlton a more convenient station was put forward by the Aberlady, Gullane and North Berwick Railway, which was founded in 1893. This company opened its line from Spittal, Aberlady Junction, near Longniddry to Gullane in 1898, but plans to extend it to join the North Berwick branch near Williamstown were never implemented.
