Description

This was the third station at Niddrie immediately south of Niddrie South Junction, on approximately the same site as Newcraighall station. A station building - a goods station after closure to passengers - was on the north side of Whitehill Road. The southern elevation of this still exists, incorporated into the bridge abutment retaining wall.

This station opened when the second station, Niddrie Junction [2nd] just to the north, closed when a new alignment from Newhailes Junction was opened to serve the Musselburgh branch.

(Niddrie [1st] was just nearby on the line to the west where the original alignment of the Fisherrow branch met the South Esk branch.)

The third station was relatively short lived.
