Ballencrieff railway station served the community of Ballencrieff, East Lothian, Scotland from 1846 to 1847 on the North British Railway Main Line.

History

[edit]

The station opened on 22 June 1846 by the North British Railway. It was probably situated north of Ballencrieff Farm. There was a siding to the south which outlasted the station, being removed in 1959. The station was very short-lived, closing 15 months later on 1 November 1847.[1]
