Booking Hall
Look up and see the roof and cupola. On the south wall there is a plaque commemorating Nigel Gresley, who designed some of the great British steam locomotives including The Mallard.
Platform 2
Every Friday between 11am – 7pm, the every week, the concourse becomes a vibrant indoor market of ethically-sourced gifts, local products and tasty treats. The markets are organised by Local Motive.Platform 9
Set into the southern supporting wall of the roof across from Platform 9 is the 'Plum(b)ers Shop' which is presumably leftover from a time when this part of the station was accessible on foot. You can't help wondering about the tiny letter “b” which has been squeezed in – was someone teased mercilessly for their poor spelling...? Was there some debate about the spelling...?Platform 19
Above a closed off tunnel opposite platform 19 is a sign reading “Site of the original Edinburgh-Leith-Newhaven Railway.” The tunnel ran beneath, what is now the Princes Mall shopping centre, through the site of the former Canal Street station (which closed in 1868) and into Scotland Street Tunnel (see Scotland Street Tunnel).BITE Card

Kids Go Free Ticket
With a Scotrail 'Kids Go Free' ticket, up to two kids (aged 5-15) travel free with each adult. An added bonus is that you also get one free child's entry to selected attractions - which, in the case of the Zoo, is worth £12! Even if you weren't planning to get the train, it might make it worth your while (and it's useful to know about the four minute journey from Waverley Station to Haymarket!).
