After a weekend visiting a friend in Edinburgh and doing some of the touristy things the city has to offer I wandered around Waverley taking a few photos. The entrance to Waverley on the south side of the station, from Market Street:
The entrance leads down some steps to a bridge which spans the tracks:
The first platform you cross entering from the south side of the station is platform 8, here looking east:
Next along is platform 9, with the North Bridge visible:
Passing through a wall, we next see platforms 10 and 11, looking east:
Platform 11:
Beside platform 11 a road leads through the station, seen here looking east:
Looking west along the road back towards the bridge:
Plaque on the side of the station building adjacent to the road:
The road leads up one of two ramps to Waverley Bridge:
The concourse area seen from the bridge:
Platforms 12-18 are west-facing bay platforms, behind barriers:
Just east of the concourse is the station building at the heart of the roofed complex which has an impressive ticket hall with an impressive domed roof:
The second exit ramp, this one on the north side of the concourse area is just for service vehicles:
Details of the woodwork and windows on the side of the exit ramp:
The escalators lead to a second bridge which leads out of the north side of the station up Waverley Steps to Princes Street:
Platforms 1 and 2 looking east from the bridge:
Parallel to platforms 1 and 2 is this route between a small collection of shops and the side of the central station building:
Looking back west at this area with platform 2 on the right:
Platforms 1 and 2, looking east:
Looking east with platform 2 on the left and another exit bridge from the station visible:
Looking west at platforms 1, 2, and the rear of the station building, from this footbridge:
The rear of the station building:
In the vast space behind the station building squats the Operations Depot with wwalls that look like they want to be laminate flooring when they grow up:
On the other side of the operations depot is the east-facing bay platform 4:
Taken earlier that day, the station roof seen from the North Bridge:
