New Portobello Station (North British Railway)

Introduction

The third Portobello station was built on a deviation to the south of the original route of the North British Railway which allowed the construction of Portobello Yard.



Locations along the line

These locations are along the line.

This was the junction between the North British Railway main line and its short connecting curve which ran north to meet the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway's South Leith branch. The curve allowed trains from the east to join the branch and vice versa. It was opened to the west of Portobello [2nd] station.
