The Anonymous Widower

Welcome to Edinburgh Waverley

In the last few weeks, I’ve been in and out of Edinburgh Waverley station several times and to be fair it is not one of the best. It always seems dark and crowded, information provision is minimal and unless you take a taxi, you always seem to have to walk up endless flights of stairs.  I know there are lifts, but I can never be bothered to wait. How too will it interface with the tram? I doubt without lots of steps!

I suspect though that it’s really one of these cases of the station being built in the wrong place for the 21st Century.

On my trip to Inverness, the Driver Manager told me that there were plans to improve Edinburgh Haymarket, so perhaps in a few years time, it will all be a lot better.

It is interesting to compare Waverley with Glasgow Queen Street, where the station is much lighter and the access into the station seemed generally level.
