Unfortunately there is very little information on the web
regarding the railway.
However, this book by Andrew Hajducki is a mine of information
& illustrations and is highly recommended.

 





The line was initially built and operated by
the Gifford & Garvald Light Railway Company
but was later taken over by
the North British Railway Company.

This excellent book covers the railway system
in and around Edinburgh.

East Lothian's railways are covered in some detail with
Haddington, Macmerry, Ormiston, Pencaitland,
Gullane & North Berwick all being described.

The Gifford branch line is included, & illustrations of the local
railway lines & stations make for a fascinating book.



I struck lucky and picked this book up in a charity shop.
Probably out of print now, but well worth pursuing if 
 you're enthusiastic about our local railway system.
