A Halt was constructed at Crossgatehall, East Lothian, by the NB in 1913 to serve the nearby village of Cousland. Located in the Lothian coalfield between Smeaton Junction and Ormiston, the station lasted a mere 17 years, closing in 1930. The road bridge over the formation survives and stands at the centre of a crossroads, now controlled by traffic lights. View north across the station site in April 2017, with the remains (if any) below. One of those occasions where the word 'overgrown' seems woefully inadequate.
