Dunbar Railway Station

Dunbar railway station serves the town of Dunbar in East Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the East Coast Main Line and is a single platform station. The platform is located on a loop adjacent to the main through lines. It is 29mi from and 585. 950km from. The line on which the platform is located is bi-directional (meaning that trains travelling to /from London or Edinburgh Waverley take it in turns to use the station if they are scheduled to stop there) and along with Syston station in Leicester it is a rare example of a single platformed main line railway station used on a major route. HistoryThe station, which was first opened by the North British Railway in June 1846, used to have two platforms and an overall roof. Both features no longer exist - the northbound platform loop line was taken out of use and lifted in the early 1970s, whilst the platform itself and the station roof were both removed during the modernisation and electrification by British Rail of the northern end of the East Coast Main Line between 1989 and 1991. For approximately five months in 1979, this was the terminal station for a shuttle service to Edinburgh Waverley. The shuttle service was provided after the East Coast Main Line was blocked due to the collapse of Penmanshiel Tunnel. Buses linked Dunbar with Berwick-upon-Tweed, from where rail services to London King's Cross resumed.
