ScotRail 170394 heads north towards Edinburgh shortly after leaving Newtongrange in bright autumn sunshine on the morning of 13 October 2022. The train is rounding the curve onto Newbattle Viaduct and is about to pass the compound standing on the site of West Bryans exchange sidings. The cramped facilities were used by the Newbattle Collieries Railways prior to World War 1, before becoming redundant on the opening of the Lothian Coal Companys spacious Lady Victoria complex half a mile to the south.
