INFORMATION

The Aberlady, Gullane and North Berwick Railway met the North British Railway at the open station of Longniddry. The next closed station met in the direction we are travelling was that of:-

Ballencrieff (1846-1847).

I remember now -- this matter arose in April: I got in something of a twist then, with "phantom stations beginning with B" on this stretch; then (in mitigation, posting latish last night) had plainly forgotten that episode.

Next station on journey: Ayton
