From the A1, southbound, head for Longniddry, and at Longniddry station, turn right at the mini roundabout, and follow this road. The ECML will be along side you the whole way. At another roundabout, go straight over it, the station is 1/2 along this road.
From the southbound direction, come off at the Haddington Junction, and follow signs for Drem. At the second roundabout, turn right, and follow signs for Aberlady, until. you get to another roundabout, with the ECML in front of you. Turn right, and follow this road. The station is 1/2 mile along this road.
Parking
The station has a car park, but this can be busy. If that is the case, try and park carefully and legally within the village.
Public transport
First Scotrail run an hourly train service from Edinburgh to North Berwick, which calls at Drem. As regards buses, best to call Traveline, 0871 200 22 33
Amenities
The station is unstaffed. Drem is a small hamlet, and the only facilities that I saw on my visit was a post office. However, if you drive round it, you may find something else. I would recommend going into Longniddry or Haddington, or North Berwick.
Accommodation
www.visitscotland.com can advise. Incidentally, this is a popular tourist route, so there should be something in the area. North Berwick may be a popular place.
There is not too much traffic noise, so you will be ok for videos. As well as this, you get good views both north and south. However, from the station footbridge, you can only get a good view southbound, due to the road bridges. Incidentally, looking south, you can see the two freight loops, one each direction and, further south, the North Berwick branch.
