History


The station was opened by Railtrack on 3 June 2002, and served as a terminus station for the Edinburgh Crossrail.

Following the opening of the Borders Railway on 6 September 2015, the line was extended 30 miles 60 chains (49 km) south-east towards Galashiels and Tweedbank. The station now serves as a park and ride for Midlothian and the Scottish Borders.

Though the Waverley Route never had a station at this location, one did exist briefly at nearby Niddrie. It was opened in June 1843 by the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway, operating intermittently until the station's ultimate closure in January 1869.[2]
