TWO meetings looking at plans to build a second platform at Dunbars railway station take place over the next fortnight. Network Rail is holding the drop-in sessions in the town to gather the publics views on the proposals, with a second platform and bridge over the railway line potentially in place within three years. Preliminary works were carried out at land at the railway station in 2015.

The almost disturbing (but welcome) site of a ScotRail unit at Dunbar, in this case 322481 with the 1504 to Edinburgh on 28 May. ScotRail trains have not served Dunbar since 1990, when the twice-daily local service was withdrawn due to a shortage of DMUs [see image 24208]. With the new timetable this week two weekday services make a return trip: one mid-morning, one mid-afternoon. This leaves Lockerbie as the only Scottish station not served by ScotRail.

An up ECML service at Dunbar at 12:15 on September 12th 1971. The locomotive is class 46 Peak No. 148 and the train is the 11:40 Waverley to Kings Cross relief. It was rather a slow journey to Berwick, with slowings for engineering works necessary at various points, including wrong line working between Craigentinny and Joppa.

View from the goods yard at Dunbar back towards the station in 1979 with a BR InterCity HST at the platform. Note the second platform and overall roof supports still in place at this time.
