Niddrie West Junction

One useful legacy from the major subsidence work carried out at Niddrie West in recent months is the level crossing on the sub, which now provides flat access from the north into the area within the 'V' of the junction, something which will no doubt be appreciated by future PW teams. Passing on its way back to Millerhill South Sidings on 29 July 2018 is a ballast train returning from Winchburgh Junction. Note the former Niddrie yard has now totally disappeared under another significant housing development, with the houses immediately beyond the train now forming part of Bonnybridge Drive. For the scene in 1971 see image 4546.
