Inveresk railway station served the village of Inveresk, Midlothian (now East Lothian), Scotland from 1846 to 1964 on the East Coast Main Line.
History[]
The station was opened on 22 June 1846 by the North British Railway as Musselburgh. In July 1847 the name was changed to Inveresk.[1] The station was situated to the west of the current Wallyford railway station and to the east of the current Musselburgh railway station. The passenger station closed on 4 May 1964[2] and the last goods service ran on 8 May 1970, thus the station closed completely the day after.[3]
