Sheriffhall railway station Sheriffhall railway station Sheriffhall railway station was a railway station that served the village of Sheriffhall, Dalkeith, Scotland, from 1844 to 1849 on the Waverley Route. The station was opened in 1844 by the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway. The station may have opened before, but information on the intermediate timetable was very vague. The station was situated under the A68 bridge and Sheriffhall. The station had a very short lifespan; it was only open for 5 years and it closed down once the North British Railway had taken over the line. The rebuilt section of the A6106 between Millerhill and
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
