This station serves the town of Newtongrange, Midlothian, Scotland. The station was previously closed (along with the Waverley Route) in 1969. The station reopened on 6 September 2015. On 9 September 2015 the Queen and Prince Philip stopped off in Newtongrange station to unveil a plaque. The
Edinburgh Waverley railway station runs parallel to the railway to the immediate south. A need to increase capacity for through and west-end traffic led to three new platforms being built in 2006, on land formerly occupied by disused sidings and bypass lines within the main part of the station. Platform 10 is a through platform at the west end, facing Platform 11. Platforms 1 and 20 are a single long through platform facing Platforms 2 and 19. All are linked by the upgraded north-south overhead walkway linking the Waverley Steps (escalators) to Market Street. In December 2006, a partial renumbering of platforms took place
