Name and dates

Niddrie [1st] (Unlikely 2) (1834-1847)

Note: text in square brackets is added for clarity and was not part of the location's name.

Opened on the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway.

Description

This location has been identified as a possible location of the E&DR's Niddrie station. It was immediately east of the point of divergence between the lines to St Leonards and Leith.

This is an unlikely location. The station would not be opened as an interchange point here as it was opened a year before the Leith branch and the location is not the one shown on the NBR prospectus map.

For the most likely location see Niddrie [1st].
