North Berwick Line

North Berwick is a town in East Lothian, Scotland, on the coast of the Firth of Forth between Dirleton and Dunbar, due east of Edinburgh. Formerly a fishing port, the town developed into a seaside resort and a favoured retirement town. The North British railway built one of its many mainline branches to North Berwick from a junction at Drem, which alone survived the reduction in local train services in the 1960s due to local support. The railway was included in the East Coast Mainline electrification in the 1990s, again due to local support, and the fast electric services have sustained the development of North Berwick into a popular commuter dormitory town.
