Edinburgh Waverley

A very convenient railway station linking Edinburgh to other parts of England. There is even a street piano for us to have fun.

I have seen a nicer station before - the roofing with the corinthian pillars is pretty strange to me - but the amosphere is good. Vintage train with the bag pipe gentleman was unique.

Be aware that if you drive in to drop family members off, the station is inside the cities "LEZ" exclusion zone - so diesel cars will be fined! This does however mean that the drop-off areas are generally clear.

Very busy and difficult to navigate if you're a first time user but once you have your bearings it's a great station, customer service is excellent. I can highly recommend travel assistance for mature travellers that support you to get off on correct platforms and find connecting trains with luggage.

Historical station. Very well organised, managed, and signposted. Easy access and all escalators worked when I was there last time. Take you to many destinations all over the UK. Many shops available at the station too.

Extremely busy. Even busier than the busiest of London main termini. I was travelling at the height of the August holidays and the City's Comedy Fringe Festival time.

Inadequate seating available whilst waiting for your train. Also better signage required to direct to accessable routes for less able people. Also food prices ridiculous from some vendors. £7.50 for a pasty on 2024 is outrageous

The lifts are slow, the escalators are frequently out of action. Very busy in summer. The usual coffee chains, Boots, M&S food and Burger King. Cheap coffee and hot food at Weatherspoons immediately outside.
