    All that remains is the station master’s house, which sits at Station Brae, off Brighton Place.

    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).

    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.

    While they're at it can they re-open Abbeyhill station too? They are laying tracks along the alignment next ti the old platform.....in order to 'park' diesel trains to free up capacity at Waverley!
