    aboutSectionText

    Edinburgh Waverley station opened in 1846 and was rebuilt between 1892 and 1902. It lies between the old town and modern Edinburgh, adjacent to Princes Street, Edinburgh Castle and the Princes Street Gardens. In addition to playing a unique role in Scotland’s history, Waverley station is vital to the country’s economic success, by delivering capacity for new rail lines such as Borders Railway, and supporting the Edinburgh-Glasgow improvement programme and the Intercity Express programme.

    Old station, modern accessibility features.

    Operational since 1846, it's fair to say this is a historical location. Located in a narrow valley, it's unusual to descend into a train station, but from Waverley Bridge, that's exactly what you do. Despite its age, it's thoroughly accessible and is one of only two train stations in Scotland with a British Sign Language (BSL) departure board. It also had a quick cameo in Avengers: Infinity War, though thankfully, the damage sustained in the battle that took place there is just movie magic.

    Accessible toilet at Edinburgh Waverley Station

    Highly accessible toilet. Only small drawback is that transfer space is on one side only, and hand dryer not near to sink.
