Edinburgh Waverley station

Waverley fills the valley between the Old Town and the New Town: it has exits onto Princes Street, Waverley Bridge and Market Street, the street that climbs towards the Royal Mile. It's the city's main station, the one for long-distance trains. The platforms are lower than the street, but there are lifts and step-free access to all of them. The left luggage office, run by Excess Baggage Company, is open from 07:00 to 23:00, handy if you check out of your hotel before an afternoon train. Taxis wait on Waverley Bridge and East Market Street; the Airlink to the airport leaves from Waverley Bridge and the tram stops at St Andrew Square, a few minutes' walk away.
