A Walk Around Waverley Railway Station, Edinburgh, Scotland

Edinburgh Waverley railway station, often simply referred to as Waverley, or as Edinburgh, is the main railway station in the Scottish capital Edinburgh. Covering an area of over 25 acres in the centre of the city, it is the second-largest main line railway station in the United Kingdom in terms of area, the largest being London Waterloo; and is both a terminal station and a through station, in contrast to the majority of central London stations. Ticketing generally regards Waverley and Haymarket as interchangeable subject to operator validity.
It is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail. It is the northern limit of the East Coast Main Line to Network Rail infrastructure definition, but through-services operate to Glasgow, Dundee, Aberdeen, Perth and Inverness.
There are many local services operated by ScotRail, including the four routes to Glasgow, the Fife Circle, and services to Stirling/Dunblane/Alloa/North Berwick/Dunbar, and the station is the terminus of the Edinburgh leg of the West Coast Main Line served by Virgin Trains and First TransPennine Express. Long distance inter-city trains to England are operated by CrossCountry to destinations such as York, Leeds, Sheffield, Derby, Birmingham New Street, Bristol Temple Meads, Exeter St Davids and Plymouth.
Waverley is the second busiest railway station in Scotland after Glasgow Central and the 5th busiest in the United Kingdom outside London.

I like Waverly. A very light and spacious station and a good example of how to modernise the facilities without loosing the original character and charm.

I had a summer job in Waverley from 1970 to 74. I probably wouldn't recognise it nowadays. However, I regularly used to go down into the cellars. That is where the workshops and storage areas are contained. That is fascinating. There was stuff down there dating from the time of the North British Railway.

williamgeorgefraser ...call the National Museum in York. Maybe there is stuff down in the basement still, that needs to be seen.

Rumour has it a lake was drained to build the station. Was dirty and in need of upkeep when I visited there in 1978, nice clean up. The beauty under the grim from then, what a gem.
