Inveresk

Site of Inveresk station, just south of Monktonhall Junction on the ECML. Opened by the NB in June 1846 as Musselburgh, the name was changed to Inveresk just over a year later following the opening of a new Musselburgh terminus near the town centre. Inveresk station closed to passengers in 1964 and little sign now remains, with the platforms removed and the former goods yard occupied by housing Photographed in May 2018 looking back towards Monktonhall Junction as the VTEC 1000 service from Edinburgh passes through, with 91114 'Durham Cathedral' bringing up the rear. For a photograph showing a train calling at the station in 1964 see image 41325
