Old travel Blog photograph of Trams, shops and people on South Clerk Street in Newington, Edinburgh, Scotland. Newington is an area of Edinburgh, about 15 to 20 minutes walk south of the city centre, the Royal Mile and Princes Street. Newington Railway Station was a railway station on the Edinburgh Suburban and Southside Junction Railway. It served the southern Edinburgh suburb of Newington and the station site is still visible from Craigmillar Park. Newington station closed in 1962, when passenger rail services were withdrawn from the Edinburgh Suburban line although the line itself was retained for rail freight use. The route continues to be used for freight services to this day, so freight trains avoid Edinburgh's main stations of Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket, and occasionally diverted passenger trains also pass along this line.
