The '''Caledonian Railway lines to Edinburgh''' started with the main line that reached Edinburgh in 1848 as part of its route connecting the city with Glasgow and Carlisle. The potential of the docks at Granton and Leith led to branch line extensions, and residential development encouraged branch lines in what became the suburbs of Edinburgh. In 1869 a line was opened from Carfin through Shotts giving the Caledonian a shorter route between Glasgow and Edinburgh.

In the twentieth century the industrial decline of the areas served resulted in closures. However the main line from Carstairs and the Glasgow route through Shotts have increased their passenger services considerably, and some reopenings of stations have taken place.

==History==
===First main line to Edinburgh===
((main|History of the Caledonian Railway (until 1850)))
[[File:Caley main line.gif|thumb|The first Caledonian Railway main line]]The Caledonian Railway entered Edinburgh on 15 February 1848 when it opened its Edinburgh line from [[Carstairs railway station|Carstairs]] to a terminus at Lothian Road. A locomotive depot was established at Dalry Road. This completed the first continuous railway line between Edinburgh and England; trains from Edinburgh combined with trains from Glasgow at Carstairs, and ran to London in combination. The rival [[North British Railway]] had already opened southwards from Edinburgh but for the time being passengers had to change at [[Berwick-upon-Tweed]] to cross the [[River Tweed]] on foot. The Caledonian Railway also ran trains between Edinburgh and Glasgow, competing with the more direct [[Edinburgh and  Glasgow Railway]], and a period of ruinous competition began.<ref name=robertson>((cite book| first=C.J.A.| last=Robertson| title=The Origins of the Scottish Railway System, 1722 - 1844| publisher=John Donald Publishers Ltd| location=Edinburgh| year=1983| isbn=085976088X))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=paterson>((cite book| others=revised by John Thomas| edition=revised| first=J.S.| last=Paterson| title=A Regional History of the Railways of Great Britain: Volume 6, Scotland, the Lowlands and the Borders| publisher=David and Charles| location=Newton Abbot| year=1984| isbn=0-946537-12-7))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=ross>((cite book| first=David| last=Ross| title=The Caledonian: Scotland's Imperial Railway: A History| publisher=Stenlake Publishing Limited| location=Catrine| year=2014| isbn=978-1840-335842))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===Improving the Edinburgh terminal===
The first Edinburgh terminal may have been satisfactory when first designed at Lothian Road, but in practical use it was clearly inadequate for the important city: it had a single platform which served both arrivals and departures, and a two-road goods shed with a single loading platform. During 1865, the Caledonian was considering how to improve it, and the Company considered making arrangements with the North British Railway to use Waverley station. The Burgh Council of Edinburgh was anxious that there should be a single main station in the city. However the North British was hostile in principle, and the idea came to nothing.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

[[File:Edinburgh Dalry Road Locomotive Depot geograph-2201985.jpg|thumb|right|An empty stock train for Princes Street Station, passing Dalry Road Locomotive Depot in 1962]]Major extension was obviously essential, and on 2 May 1870 a new temporary station was opened adjacent to, and to the north of Lothian Road; it was named ''[[Edinburgh Princes Street railway station|Princes Street]]''. It was a wooden structure; the Caledonian was short of cash at this time and a more imposing terminal was not affordable. The passenger part of the station now had two platforms.

During 1890 the wooden terminus building at Princes Street was partly dismantled in preparation for improvement, when on 16 June a fire broke out, substantially destroying much of the buildings. The new, spacious station accommodation was progressively brought into use in 1893 and 1894; it had nine platforms, and had cost over £250,000. Powers were obtained for building an adjacent hotel, but it was not opened, as the ''[[Caledonian Hotel]]'', until December 1903.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===Haymarket, Barnton, and Granton and Leith Docks===
[[File:Caley in Embra 1864.gif|thumb|Caledonian lines in Edinburgh in 1864]]The approach to the Caledonian's terminal in Edinburgh was not far from the [[Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway]] (E&GR) line. In 1847 the Caledonian obtained Parliamentary authorisation to build a connecting line, from a junction near Slateford to Haymarket. This was not welcomed by the E&GR, and the hoped-for through running was not agreed to. In 1853 the line opened, but only to a bay platform alongside the E&GR line but some distance short of the E&GR Haymarket station; there was a backshunt connection to the E&GR line. Any passenger access would have been inconvenient and this line was not used by passenger trains; there were factory premises on the line and serving these was the primary use.

[[Walter Montagu-Douglas-Scott, 5th Duke of Buccleuch|The Duke of Buccleuch]] owned and operated docks at Granton, on the north-west extremity of Edinburgh; the principal traffic was coastal shipping, as well as ferries to Fife ports.<ref name=paterson />((page needed|date=March 2021)) The [[North British Railway]] served his docks, and he was anxious to have a connection from the Caledonian Railway. The Caledonian proposed a line from the Haymarket branch, diverging at Granton Junction and forking at Granton itself, serving both the west breakwater there and the main Granton Pier; Buccleuch contributed half of the construction cost. The line opened on 28 August 1861. Buccleuch's docks had extensive internal sidings, and the Caledonian and NBR lines did not directly connect; nonetheless Granton was extensively used for wagon exchange, which took place over part of the Granton Dock system. In 1863 the Caledonian Railway bought out Buccleuch's share of the line.

There was a gas works at Granton and it had a passenger station, the [[Granton Gasworks railway station]], for the use of gas works employees only; a passenger service was provided by the Caledonian to and from Princes Street. It opened in 1902 and closed in 1942.<ref name=stansfield/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=quick/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

Granton Dock was important, but the docks at Leith, further east, were considerably more important, and the Caledonian reached them by an eastward branch from the Granton line, passing round the north of the Edinburgh conurbation. It opened on 1 September 1864, running from a triangular junction at Crew.((refn|group=note|Ross and Railbrit use both "Crew" and "Crewe" spellings at different places, and Paterson uses Crewe.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=paterson />((page needed|date=March 2021)) The authoritative railway usage was ''Crew'', as used for example in the Sectional Appendix to the Working Timetables dated 1 October 1960 issued by British Railways, Scottish Region, page 30; the local settlement is spelt this way in contemporary Ordnance Survey mapping.)) A link line allowing direct running from Lothian Road goods yard to Granton was also opened, forming a short spur from Dalry Road to Coltbridge Junction.

On 30 June 1874 authorisation was obtained for a further connection in the area, a spur from Dalry Junctions towards Linlithgow, enabling through running from Larbert into the Caledonian Railway Edinburgh terminals; the [[Scottish Central Railway]] had obtained running powers from Larbert to Haymarket over the NBR line, and the connection allowed those trains to run direct. They had previously used the unsatisfactory bay platform at Haymarket. The new line was opened on 3 July 1876; the junction on the NBR line was Haymarket West Junction.

Suburban passenger services between Princes Street and North Leith (simply named ''Leith'' until 1903) commenced on 1 August 1879. The final approach to Leith docks for goods trains was always congested, and duplicate lines were constructed for passenger trains, parallel to the goods lines, for the final approach from Newhaven Junction to a new passenger terminus at North Leith.
[[File:Newhaven station, Edinburgh, 2017.jpg|thumb|left|Former Newhaven station in 2017]]
[[File:Caley in Embra 1894.gif|thumb|Caledonian lines in Edinburgh in 1894]]The Caledonian obtained Parliamentary authorisation to build a line to Cramond Brig, a rural location west of Granton, on 25 July 1890. This was a speculative branch intended to open up new residential districts, in collaboration with a property developer. The line opened as a branch from the Granton Dock line at Craigleith on 1 March 1894. Cramond Brig was renamed Barnton from 1903. So lucrative was the development of new residential areas that the Caledonian considered extending to form a loop to Corstorphine, returning to Edinburgh, but this was never achieved and it was the North British Railway that built to Corstorphine.<ref name=paterson/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

The Leith harbour authorities extended the dock facilities in 1902, further east from the former location; the emphasis was on coal export.<ref name=stratton>((cite book| first1=Michael| last1=Stratton| first2=Barrie| last2=Trinder| title=Twentieth Century Industrial Archaeology| publisher=Routledge| location=Abingdon| year=2013| isbn=978-0419246800))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=gillon>((cite book| first1=Jack| last1=Gillon| first2=Fraser| last2=Parkinson| title=Leith Through Time| publisher=Amberley Publishing| location=Stroud| year=2014| isbn=978-144-564-0648))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))
	  	
[[File:Caley in Embra 1903.gif|thumb|Caledonian lines in Edinburgh in 1903]]The Caledonian needed to make a rail connection: it became known and the Leith New Lines. The branch diverged from the earlier North Leith branch at Newhaven Junction, and looped south and east around the edge of Leith, before turning north towards a new terminus at South Leith; there was also a spur from Seafield Junction to the eastern docks. By this time the greater conurbation had been built up, and the line was difficult and expensive to build. It opened to goods traffic on 1 August 1903. By the time the passenger accommodation was ready at stations at Newhaven, Ferry Road, Leith Walk<ref name=paterson/>((page needed|date=March 2021)) and Seafield, street tramcars were obviously unbeatable competition for inner suburban railways, and the line was never opened to passengers.

A second phase of the project was to have been an ambitious underground line through the city centre to create a circular route for suburban passenger services. The proposal had experienced strong opposition from the City Council as there would be cut and cover tunnels through [[New Town, Edinburgh|Edinburgh New Town]], and as the line was principally intended for passenger operation, it was not proceeded with. Electric street trams were operating in Leith from 1905.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=gillon/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===The Wilsontown and Tarbrax branches===
The Caledonian Railway had been conceived as a simple inter-city line conveying long distance and local passengers and goods. However the iron works of the Monklands district were developing strongly, and there was a huge demand for coal and iron ore to feed the process. Early railways in the west of Scotland had been constructed to serve the mines and the iron works, but the demand for new railway connections to new and existing mines was strong in this period.

There had long been iron working at [[Wilsontown Ironworks|Wilsontown]], and the [[Wilsontown, Morningside and Coltness Railway]] had opened in 1845 to serve the industry. Now new mineral fields were being developed in the area south of the earlier line, and the Caledonian Railway obtained Parliamentary authorisation on 21 July 1859 to build a branch line from the Carstairs to Edinburgh line from a junction near Auchengray. It opened in 1860.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=cobb/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

Shale oil was being exploited in the area at the time; this required refining to extract the oil from the solid mineral, and a works had been established at [[Tarbrax]]. The Caledonian built a short branch to the works was opened at the end of 1863 or the beginning of 1864.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

Several short extensions were opened in 1869 to collieries off the Wilsontown branch, and to South Cobbinshaw Colliery off the Tarbrax branch.

[[File:Blackford railway station 1813656 2e9a2c68.jpg|thumb|left|Blackford Station in 1961]]

===The Midcalder Line===
[[File:Caley Edinburgh lines.gif|thumb|Caledonian lines to Edinburgh on the opening of the Shotts line]]The Wishaw and Coltness Railway had long since opened its line, principally for mineral haulage, reaching as far east as Cleland by way of Holytown, and leased by the Caledonian Railway. In 1869 the line was extended from Cleland to a junction at Midcalder on the Carstairs - Edinburgh line; it ran via Hartwood, Fauldhouse, Addiewell and West Calder. The last two places were already established industrial centres, and shale extraction was a major activity; the industries were now brought in to the Caledonian network. The dominant traffic on the line was to be minerals, and numerous mines, shale pits and works were connected, from the start, or in the immediately succeeding years. A mineral line loop sweeping to the north of Addiewell and West Calder was provided, rejoining the line east of West Calder. The lines opened for goods and mineral trains on 1 January 1869.

Notwithstanding the mineral traffic dominance, a passenger service was started on 9 July 1869, between Glasgow and Edinburgh. This route was considerably shorter than the Caledonian's former route between the cities, and not much inferior to the [[Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway]] route, although the gradients of the Midcalder line were more challenging. Two stopping trains and two expresses ran each way daily, and the fares were set cheaper than the E&G fares; the latter had to be reduced to compete.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===The Balerno line===
[[File:Balerno Rly.gif|thumb|The Balerno railway of the Caledonian Railway]]The main line from Carstairs to Edinburgh ran in a direct line, and approaching [[Slateford railway station|Slateford]] the line ran parallel to, and some distance on the north side of, the [[Water of Leith]]. Considerable industrial development took place adjacent to the watercourse: there were three paper mills, two quarries, a salt works and a tannery on the proposed line. On 29 June 1865 the Caledonian obtained Parliamentary authorisation to build a double track railway, the Balerno Branch, from a junction near Slateford, serving the industrial sites. Authorised share capital was £150,000, but when the Caledonian had raised most of the money, other priorities intruded and the cash was spent on other schemes for the time being. The original Act had specified a penalty of £50 a day if the completion of the line was delayed, so in 1869 authorisation was sought to abandon the Balerno branch.

The following year however the scheme was resurrected, this time as a cheaper, single track line, but continuing from [[Balerno railway station|Balerno]] to rejoin the Carstairs line at Ravelrig, forming a loop. The new ''Caledonian Railway (Additional Powers) Act'' was obtained on 20 June 1870. The line finally opened on 1 August 1874. Balerno had a goods station in the location earlier intended as the passenger terminus in 1865, on a stub from the loop line. There was a passing loop on the single line at [[Currie railway station|Currie]]. Ravelrig was a complex junction, and there were two mineral lines serving nearby quarries. The stations generated considerable volumes of residential passenger traffic. The attractive area also generated worthwhile volumes of "picnic" traffic in the summer months, and special excursion trains were run.

The extension from [[Balerno railway station|Balerno]] to Ravelrig did not have a regular service for extended periods, as was occasionally used for stabling the Royal Train when in the area.<ref name=stansfield>((cite book| first=Gordon| last=Stansfield| title=Lost Railways of the Lothians| publisher=Stenlake Publishing Limited| year=2003| isbn=1-84033-270-0))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021))

Nonetheless the considerable extent of residential housing encouraged an excellent bus service from the 1930s, and travel by train became unattractive: the line closed to passenger traffic in 1943, temporarily. It was intended to reopen the line after the War, but this was never done. The official closure date is sometimes given as 1 June 1949. Goods trains ceased running in 1967.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=paterson/>((page needed|date=March 2021))<ref name=stansfield/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===Strawfrank curve===
When the Caledonian main line had been opened, a direct line was provided by-passing Carstairs for trains running from Carlisle to Edinburgh; it was from Float Junction to Lampits Junction. In fact all passenger trains called at Carstairs; Edinburgh portions were detached and attached there, and did not use the curve. It is likely that goods traffic ran via Carstairs station also. The Lampits line closed in 1860.<ref name=cobb/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

On 10 October 1872 a new curve was opened, much closer to Carstairs station and much tighter; it was known as the Strawfrank curve. It is use today by most passenger trains between Edinburgh and Carlisle.<ref name=ross/>((page needed|date=March 2021))

===Later changes===
After the first decades of the twentieth century, the [[extractivism|extractive industries]] that had supported the heavy mineral traffic on these lines began to decline, and after 1950 collieries and the shale industries experienced a significant decline. In step with this, the importance of Leith and Granton harbours also declined. Street tramways and then motor buses made suburban passenger routes unattractive, and in rural areas too bus and lorry transport became more practical than the railway service. All of the local branches and many of the local stations closed, and in 1965 Princes Street station was closed, its main line traffic from Carstairs being transferred to Edinburgh Waverley over a connection near Haymarket that was a close relative of the 1853 connection. The only other remaining line in the area under consideration was the line from Glasgow via Cleland and Fauldhouse, usually thought of as ''the Shotts line'', remained in operation although with an infrequent passenger service.

A short connection was however built in 1961 at Slateford; at this point the line passed over the Edinburgh Suburban Railway and a spur was put in during 1961<ref name=cobb>((cite book| first=Col M.H.| last=Cobb| title=The Railways of Great Britain – A Historical Atlas| publisher=Ian Allan Publishing Limited| location=Shepperton| year=2003| isbn=07110-3003-0))</ref>((page needed|date=March 2021)) giving access for freight trains off the Carstairs and Shotts line towards the new marshalling yard being built at Millerhill.

From about 1980 there was a revival of interest in passenger rail travel, and daily travel to work over longer distances became commonplace. This led to some reopening of stations, and the Shotts Line now serves Edinburgh commuters as well as the rural towns on its route.

At present (2015) the Carstairs to Edinburgh route carries a significant long-distance passenger traffic to English destinations, as well as a medium distance semi-fast service between Edinburgh and Ayr via Glasgow. The Shotts line carries two trains an hour (typically) between Edinburgh and Glasgow, alternating stopping and semi-fast services.
