Eskbank railway station is a station serving the Eskbank area of the town of Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland. It reopened on the Borders Railway between Edinburgh and Tweedbank, just beyond Galashiels. There is a half-hourly service to Tweedbank. It is approximately a mile from Dalkeith town centre.
The station sits approximately 12.5 km from Waverley and 43.5 km from Tweedbank,[1] and lies close to the towns of Bonnyrigg and Dalkeith.
The original Eskbank station was previously closed (along with the Waverley Line) in 1969. The new construction work was undertaken by BAM Nuttall. The new station, further south than the original, reopened on 6 September 2015.[2]
