A county train line has reopened after overhead wire damage was sustained during the events of Storm Éowyn.
On Friday, Storm Éowyn battered East Lothian and the rest of the central belt of Scotland, seeing disruption to roads and railways with Scotrail cancelling all services for the day.
Scotrail confirmed today (Sunday) that the North Berwick Line has reopened after many services were cancelled yesterday (Saturday) and this morning.

At around 10am today, Network Rail Scotland replied to an enquiry on social media asking about the condition of the North Berwick line.
Their reply said: "We've got overhead wire damage on the line near North Berwick.
"Teams are heading for the route today to complete these, with our aim to reopen the route first thing tomorrow morning."
However, at around 1.20pm today Scotrail informed people that the line had reopened.
Scotrail took to social media to update train passengers and said: "Our teams at Network Rail have worked hard and we now have the following lines reopened for services."
They included a list of lines that have re-opened in Scotland, including Aberdeen to Edinburgh, Edinburgh to Glasgow, Tweedbank line and last but not least the North Berwick line.
The post on social media went on to say: "Other routes remain closed while Network Rail continues its inspection and repair work.
"Please check the ScotRail website and app for the most up-to-date information when planning your travel."
Yesterday, Network Rail confirmed that the East Coast Main Line has reopened after clearing it of trees and debris.
At the time, on social media, they said: "The first good news from us following the storm.
