Short answer
- Musselburgh railway station in East Lothian, Scotland, reopened in 1988 on the East Coast Main Line and is the station currently serving the town and nearby Queen Margaret University.
Background and context
- The present Musselburgh station was opened by British Rail in 1988 on the East Coast Main Line, replacing earlier Musselburgh stations that closed in the 1960s. This is the station that serves eastbound trains to North Berwick and Dunbar and westbound services toward Edinburgh, with facilities such as ticket machines and customer help points, though the station is unstaffed.[2][3]
- It lies to the west of Musselburgh town centre and near the Queen Margaret University campus, which has influenced planned and ongoing transport and station-adjacent development in the area.[3][7]
