Sam MacleodMay 3, 2013Fabulous railway station. I like the way that nothing is accurately sign posted. If you take the stairs to princes street though you'll get one hell of a great viewUpvoted 2 weeks ago
Want to avoid paying 30p for the toilet? Just ask them if they have change of a £5/£10 note. They always just let you in for free as the change machines just take coins. Don't do this often though!
Stephen SimpsonApril 16, 2012Jenners Department store (opposite station) has free city guides with tourist maps of the city center (top floor near the café), better than paying £2.50 for the ones in the Tourist Information.Upvoted 4 weeks ago
MicAugust 6, 2018Very nice, clean and convenient railway station. Lots of cafes and pharmacy in case you need food, asprin or napkins with you on a train.Upvoted 2 weeks ago
Good station with plenty of signs and cafe/shop/facilities. Could really do with more rubbish bins dotted around for putting empty coffee cups/used wrappers/drinking bottles etc- Jon HallierAugust 13, 2016The layout can be very confusing especially when it's busy. Look up a station map and departure boards online if you need to make a connection.
Mark SandlandApril 26, 2011Such a long walk from platform 2 from South to platform 12 for Glasgow. If you don't rush you'll miss your connection. Also have ticket ready as need it for barriers before you can get on the train.
Claire WilliamsonOctober 20, 2018Great train station only problem for our journey was my mother isn’t well at all and suffers from COPD. We could have done with some assistance to get to the taxi rank which is at top of hill
Tyler TannerSeptember 26, 2014Surprisingly big. Get here early to get oriented & get to your track. 1st class lounge was nice but departure screen only gave us 15 minutes to catch our train when it popped up. Still, been to worse.
Relative easy to find your train platform and a good selection of shops/cafés.
Alex CurielDecember 19, 2018Edinburgh’s main railway station. Train services to almost everywhere. A bit hard to navigate if I may say!
This is a small, easy to navigate station with just enough food, snack and hot drink outlets to satisfy.
OneUKSeptember 20, 2010You know what's good in a place like this? Boots meal deal, a costa mocha or perhaps an upper crust whilkshire ham and cheddar sanny! If you are getting picked up, out back under the bridge is the pl
It is not unusual for the Glasgow Queen Street train to arrive a minute before it's due to depart back to Glasgow. And it will - make sure you're on the platform!- Çiğdem BiçerMarch 11, 2017Fabulous railway station where tea, coffee and food, comfortable for waiting and near the city
Just be patient with new changes to the platform and soon it will be shiny enough ... If U got lots of luggage lifts are best to stroll around. :)
Get a meal deal from Boots for £3.29. Depending on what you choose you might end up getting £6 worth of stuff
British Transport PoliceAugust 30, 2013On 3 April 1917 William Slater was sentenced to four months in jail for stealing a portmanteau from Edinburgh Waverley. Even today, it’s worth keeping an eye on your luggage. Read more
No shops open before 5:30 except for two coffee kiosks, so if you're up for an early start, make sure you bag your morning meal elswhere.
Mustafa SevinçFebruary 3, 2015The main sitation of the city. Free wi-fi. Castle is 10 minutes away by walking. Waiting room is warmer than outside. Finding a socket to charge phones is not easy. Charge them at the train.
The contract staff who undertake ticket checks for ScotRail could do with a lesson in customer care and the rules appertaining to railway ticketing
Jonathan PryceSeptember 24, 2011The bagel kiosk is great - I recommend the sweet chilli grilled cheese with tuna
Edgar EAugust 18, 2016Central location and easy to navigate. Shops are expensive but Waverley mall has a bunch of food options when you're in a hurry.
Martin DowsonNovember 6, 2011Catching the sleeper to London gives you a full evening at home, a full nights sleep and gets you into London before 7am. Travel 1st class to get acces to showers at other end!
Vasilis ThemelisOctober 19, 2019A single ticket to Glasgow is £3 Mon-Fri after 20:00 with a rail card. The offer is only available on the ticket offices, NOT through the automated machines.- Not only have Waverley Steps re-opened, with escalators, there's also now lift access from mezzanine to Princes Street level.
Prashanth GopinathNovember 24, 2015The market street exit has good options for food if you can climb up the stairs to high street
With @CostaCoffee closed in the foyer, head up Waverley steps for an amazing @RazzoCoffee instead! #bestcoffee in the neighbourhood
They are renovating the station and have made *such* a fantastic mess of Waverley... Get here early, there are dead ends and wrong signs everywhere...
Chilled out station, brilliant links. Be sure to buy tickets in advance.
Clive SinclairNovember 29, 2014Good range of shops and places to get food and drinks while waiting for trains.- Generally a good station, just hope your train is not departing from Platform 7, it’s almost in Dunbar. The G4S ticket staff can be fairly ignorant at times too.
James StaffordOctober 4, 2016I come through to here to either spend the day in Edinburgh or a change over to Glasgow
The pasty shop next to platform 2 is great if you need a decent breakfast on the go.
Head into the travel centre for a memorial to Sir Nigel Gresley who designed the Mallard and Flying Scotsman that used to haul the express trains to London.
Ask a team member about bite card. They're free and save you 20% off at Uppercrust, Millie's cookies, pasty shop and the Bar.
Kingsley YoungerMay 18, 2015Jonathan Phang took the luxury train, Belmond Royal Scotsman, from here to the highlands of Scotland.
SwarmstrongSeptember 7, 2015Really good selection of shops. Fun fact: it's the second largest station in the UK!
Brandon KirklenOctober 18, 2016Quite the hustle and bustle here. Head upstairs to the market and grab a snack for the train.
Andrew HawleyMay 28, 2012If you're on time and completely relaxed, this is where you go to ensure you're late and stressed.
Hugh DavidApril 14, 2012Toilets now cost 30p to use, so having change is useful. However, more shops now including a Whistle Stop & Costa, so making change if you don't want to use the change machine is easy.- One of the nicest train stations you’ll ever find. I love this place… #Scotland #Scotrail #Waverley 🏴
