![During the station boom of the mid 1980s there were plans for two new<br>
stations between Waverley and Prestonpans to be called Musselburgh West and Musselburgh East. In the event the former opened fairly swiftly in 1988 as plain Musselburgh, but another six years were to elapse before the other one was opened, and called Wallyford. Here it is under construction in April 1994.<br><br>[David Panton /04/1994]](/images/28000/28457.jpg "Wallyford")

but here's one that won't be getting a respray. 322 482 pulls into <br>

![It does seem a little carbon-inefficient that many long-distance diesel services spend most of their time travelling under wires. However, unless somebody is working on a combined diesel and OHW electric train, or there is a sudden mass electrification programme nothing is likely to change anytime soon. Saving on the electricity bills at least (if that's how it works) 43 319 with the Up Highland Chieftain whiney-roars through Wallyford at speed on 13 November.<br><br>[David Panton 13/11/2010]](/images/31000/31583.jpg "Wallyford")
![The former mining village of Wallyford is neatly separated from <br>
Musselburgh (right) by the ECML, but I'm sure, in the way of these <br>
things, that the locals see a lot more to divide them than that. <br>
Wallyford has seen a fair amount of private development in recent years and has become more of a dormitory settlement with handy fast rail access to Edinburgh. 322 483 calls with a North Berwick service on 13 November.<br><br>[David Panton 13/11/2010]](/images/31000/31677.jpg "Wallyford")

![A six-car service for North Berwick pulls into Wallyford on 4 November 2017.<br>
Whoever comes up with the Gaelic versions of station names seems to have<br>
admitted defeat here and the signs are monolingual. Being a Saturday the train service is half-hourly as opposed to hourly during the week. This is a little unusual and makes you wonder why they can't make it half-hourly every day.<br><br>[David Panton 04/11/2017]](/images/61000/61739.jpg "Wallyford")
