Waverley station - also had a further advantage of the now closed Princes St Station in that it was also a 'through' station and serviced trains for further north into Scotland - mostly via the magnificent Forth Bridge to the west of Edinburgh. |

| Shame about the damage because this is an excellent view of Princes Street Station and its sidings. |
