Edinburgh Waverley railway station, Main railway station in Old Town, Scotland
Edinburgh Waverley station spans across a valley between the Old Town and New Town, featuring twenty platforms and a Victorian glass dome structure.
The North British Railway opened the station in 1846, replacing earlier stations before undergoing major reconstruction between 1892 and 1902.
The station received its name from Sir Walter Scott's collection of novels, reflecting Edinburgh's strong connection to literature and storytelling.
The facility operates from 4:00 AM to 12:45 AM Monday through Saturday, with Sunday hours starting at 6:00 AM until 12:45 AM.
A £130 million renovation program transformed the station while maintaining its Category A listed building status and architectural elements.
