 A passenger service was put on again from 1 June 1860 but it was so little used that it was finally discontinued on 30 September 1860.The branch to Fisherrow was linked to a small harbour on the west side of the Esk while the important town of Musselburgh was on the east.The harbour was prone to serious silting, and in 1835 the owners made structural changes to try to disperse the silt; this was unsuccessful and the opening was closed again in 1838.
