View northward, towards Edinburgh: ex-NBR ECML, Berwick-upon-Tweed - Edinburgh section. To relieve the path of the ECML expresses, the station was closed to passengers from 18/6/51, but not for goods until 25/1/65. The prominent landmark of Torness Nuclear Power Station is in the distance, beside the Firth of Forth: this had just been commissioned (5/88), after years of delay due to local opposition.
