Junction Bridge
Standing on the site of the platform at Junction Bridge in 2009 looking towards North Leith. The station, less than 300 yards from the terminus, opened as Junction Road in 1846. From here the line ran under the bridge before curving off to the left and through a (now filled in) tunnel below Coburg Street. (For a view of the north end of the tunnel see image 22862.) Access to the station was from a booking office on the bridge carrying Great Junction Street (its former position on the bridge can be seen beyond the tree in the centre). The Water of Leith runs by on the right. Junction Bridge station closed in June 1947.
