Been years since I visited Millerhill so I stopped off for about 15mins around lunchtime today on my way home from a family “errand”. Pleasantly surprised at the amount of activity.
As I arrived the 60063 on the 6E28 Dalzell - Lackenby was just waiting for the road into the yard. Shortly afterwards 66111 on the late running 7B35 10.35 Thornton to Cockenzie PS arrived for crew change. On shed 37406, that had worked the Powderhall bins that morning, was in the headshunt, Withdrawn 37709, 37886 and 08489 wer in the tank lye and 66245 was beside the depot building. 66040, withdrawn 47747 “Florence Nightingale” and 37416 were in the siding known as the "chute" nearer to the yard. One other 66 was in the depot building.
66068 arrived shortly afterwards again on an MGR then 158704 arrived into the turnback siding. Something odd looking down in the yard stayed out of identifiable view. Took a few general views to use as then and now shots.
Picking my way back through the trees I came across some old Mk1 coach corridor door covers lying on the ground as well as old track panels with trees growing through them. Looks like this area is being used by dirt bike enthusiasts, some failry well used paths.
Thanks to Merlin and David Kirkwood for additional information
