Haymarket Station On 21 February 1842, Haymarket station opened, about half a mile to the west of the West End of Princes Street. It was the original Edinburgh terminus for the line from Glasgow. 2 |
|
North Bridge Station In 1846, the line from Glasgow was extended further east from Haymarket into tunnels then a cutting through Princes Street Gardens to North Bridge Station at the East End of Princes Street. 1 I read a report a brief article in one of the newspapers of 1846. It described the excitement of a train arriving in Edinburgh through Princes Street Gardens, and added "It is believed to have come from Glasgow." ! |

Waverley Station Waverley Station was built on the site of North Bridge Station and Canal Street Station. Trains now run between Edinburgh Waverley Station and Glasgow Queen Street station every 15 minutes. A slower less frequent service with more stops now also operates between Edinburgh Waverley Station and Glasgow Central Station. |
