commonly referred to as just "Waverley" locally, is the main railway station in the Scottish capital Edinburgh

As at other large railway stations of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, the railway company constructed a grand station hotel beside their station

Covering an area of over 25 acres (101,000 m²) in the centre of the city, it is the second largest mainline railway station in the United Kingdom (in terms of area) -the largest being London Waterloo

the northern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, and is also the terminus of the Edinburgh branch of the West Coast Main Line

the second busiest railway station in Scotland, with only Glasgow Central handling more passengers

First ScotRail and Virgin Trains services waiting at the western end of the station

Waverley station viewed from Edinburgh Castle

Class 158 DMU 158730 at Platform 1

Westward view across the roadway between Platforms 7/11 (left) and the main concourse, with the Mezzanine Bridge visible above

The station is located in a steep, narrow valley between the city's medieval Old Town and the 18th century New Town. Princes Street, the city's premier shopping street, runs along one side of the station

The elaborate ceiling of the ticket hall, extensively restored in 2003

Trains leave Waverley in two directions

A total of 24 platforms have existed at Waverley, but not more than 21 at any one time

With the growth of the city, and the construction of the "scientifically designed" New Town to the north, the Nor Loch became a fetid open sewer, something at odds with the city's modern Scottish Enlightenment aspirations
