Dunbar railway station serves the town of Dunbar in East Lothian, Scotland. It is located on the East Coast Main Line and is a single platform station. The platform is located on a loop adjacent to the main through lines. It is halfway between Edinburgh Waverley and Berwick-upon-Tweed with a distance of about 28 miles (45 km). The line on which the platform is located is bi-directional (meaning that trains travelling to/from London or Edinburgh Waverley take it in turns to use the station if they are scheduled to stop there) and along with Syston station in Leicester it is a rare example of a single platformed main line railway station used on a major route.
