Musselburgh's Lost Railway Stations

There are currently two train stations serving Musselburgh and the surrounding area. However, I recently discovered there were four additional train station which existed at one time or another in the area. As such, I set out to explore these areas and capture some footage of them.

Great Video. You Highlight the Layers of History from a New Perspective. ✌

[@DronemanScotland]

I appreciate that, thank you.

Thank you for this. I'm researching my husband's family tree and his great grandfather was a railway foreman, living on North High Street, Musselburgh in 1912. I'm guessing he worked at the station by the bridge (the second one you cover in this clip.) Now I know what it was called!

[@DronemanScotland]

I am glad the video helped with your research, good luck with the family tree 👍

The old iron rail bridge across the Esk was dismantled in the early 80s and the Musselburgh station building was a Kwik Fit garage

[@DronemanScotland]

Yes, I actually remember the KwikFit garage being there, thanks for your comment.

I can remember the rail tracks crossing the main road at Fisherrow. 😉

[@DronemanScotland]

Hi John, it would have been a fantastic sight to see trains pulling into the Fisherrow harbour depot, hard to envisage it today.

[@johnburns5783]

I can just remember my dad getting stopped on the main road because a train was crossing. If I remember correctly, there were gates they used to close across the road somewhere around where Newhailes Road met Edinburgh Rd

[@TranentTowerCastle]

very interesting! thanks for sharing.

[@DronemanScotland]

Covering Tranent Tower on Friday, hope you enjoy.

[@DronemanScotland]

Done.

You should do a video on Edinburgh north tracks that have been converted to foot path.

[@DronemanScotland]

Will have a look at that, was thinking about doing Edinburgh's lost stations, could combine this suggestion with the video.

Mussleburgh’s lost apostrophe 😊

[@DronemanScotland]

Hopefully that was an intentional spelling mistake 🤣😂
