They are laying tracks along the alignment next ti the old platform.....in order to 'park' diesel trains to free up capacity at Waverley! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13002#post-157195 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:15:39 +0000 Mandopicker101 157195@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>What a great idea (and I love the archive photo). I hope this is successful. Hopefully a re-opened train station might help resolve some of the heavy traffic going into/through Portobello. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13002#post-157191 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:07:26 +0000 kaputnik 157191@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>All that remains is the station master’s house, which sits at Station Brae, off Brighton Place.<br /> </em></p> <p>Actually there's more than that, you can see some of the bricked-up entrance ways to the station (which was an island platform accessed by a subway and sitting in a large junction, much like Dalry which is/was accessed from the Telfer Subway). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=13002#post-157189 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 12:04:41 +0000 chdot 157189@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/bid-to-re-open-portobello-railway-station-1-3448630" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/transport/bid-to-re-open-portobello-railway-station-1-3448630</a></p> <p>(Nice pic.) </p>
