Remaining level crossings in Edinburgh

[och aye]

Would I be right in saying that they are technically 3 remaining level crossings in Edinburgh (City Council area)?

• Kingsknowe Level Crossing
• Seafield Level Crossing
• Albert Road Level Crossing

In reality Kingsknowe is the only one that's in actual use and that Seafield Road and Albert Road on the line to Leith dock are only technically "in use" As far as I'm aware, the only traffic that the line has seen this decade, so far, is from Network Rail track inspection trains?

I think you're right. There are also two crossings west of Kingsknowe, one is a UWC with red/green lights (Baberton Road) and the other is clearly only for foot and cycle use. You can tell that they're not for vehicle use because Google StreetView doesn't cross them!

The railway often uses alternative names that aren’t the same as the road.

The Baberton Road crossing is called “Whitelaw”.

The other of which you speak is the link from Gowanhill Farm Rd to Newmills Rd and is known as “Curriehill”.
