East Linton

East Linton, looking towards Dunbar, at 12.35 on Tuesday, 4th June 2024. The original station, slightly to the east, was opened as Linton by the NBR with the line from Edinburgh to Berwick-upon-Tweed, on 22nd June 1846. It was renamed East Linton in December 1864 but closed on 4th May 1964. It took just under sixty years to rectify this mistake with the new station opening on 13th December 2023. It is unstaffed and, worse, like the new stations at Leven and Cameron Bridge, lacks public conveniences. Part of the old station still stands (see my image 67260, from 28th February 2018.)
