Pulling into Aberdeen. East coast stop. Heading from Edinburgh then on to Inverness tomorrow Any highlights? The ride was nice and the service good. Nice scenery on our travels. Worth the ride. The trip was nice and scenic. Took first class for a wee bit more and it was about the same. But more quiet car. . read more

This is a great station to come to because it's also attached to the mall. There are hotels right across the street as well as in the station so you can't go wrong if you are a traveller. If it's cold outside don't forget to check the indoor waiting room directly across from the gates. There's also a small convenience store and coffee shop conveniently located by the gates So if you're running late and need a cup of coffee on the way out, this is the spot. read more

Aberdeen train station is way nicer than I remember it being. Plus did it get a whole lot warmer since being properly attached to the shopping centre? It makes me so happy that I can walk from the train station to the bus station without being rained upon, making trips to my mums so much easier (yeah yeah I'm a big sop). Oh! Only negative, some of the platforms (6 I think) is a little confusing as there is two parts to it, but follow the crowd and you can't get lost! If your visiting Aberdeen or leaving, its an a ok place to be. read more

A pleasant enough station attached to the Union Square shopping centre. Good connections around Scotland. Direct services to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Inverness. Sleeper service to London. A few small concessions but better connections within the main union square shopping centre. read more

I have never felt any fondness for Aberdeen train station. It's very convenient for the centre of town but that has always been the extent of its benefits in my book. It has a faded looking café slash pub called the lemon tree. It's got the de rigeour WHSmiths. It has no posh coffee shop. Or even booth. Even Preston station has a booth. It's drafty. It's got narrow ticket gates. The whole station has a shabby disreputable air about it. But today, wonder of wonders. I had to rush to the toilet before I boarded the train and I rushed to the toilets, only to find a turnstile requiring 20p. For me, this was the final nail in the coffin so I stalked off. But then spied the sign for the first class lounge. Now I wouldn't normally go first class but I'm working, long journey, need the power sockets for my laptop. If only they worked. Inverness train yesterday and they didn't work. Today they don't work. Arrggh. Anyway. I thought the first class lounge surely must have a toilet so off I darted. And oh my. The finest toilets I've seen since Malmaison. Super doper fast drying air hand dryer thingy. Sparkley clean. The whole lounge was clean, bright, fresh. A pleasant faced young man crazily let me in without making me sign into the special book. And then if you have time to kill, there's a nice little coffee machine, all kinds of soft drinks in fridges that one could enjoy, a fine array of pastries, all sorts of little bags of snacks. It's practically a Charlie and the chocolate factory enclave amidst the dinge. I settled for snatching a pocket size pack of Burts before dashing for my train. So almost worth a visit to Aberdeen. If you're going first class. But hey, don't go crazy. read more

The station location is brilliant located right in the city centre and is connected to Union Square Shopping Centre which is fully of shops and restaurants and is also attached to the bus station. In the station it's self there is a first class lounge for Scotrail and has a branch of WHSmith, Pub, and a pumpkin coffee shop. The station has toilets but they are 30p to use, but there is free toilets a few minutes away in the bus station. Train wise is good there is hourly trains to Glasgow and Edinburgh. Train to Inverness every 2 hours, and 3 trains a day to London provided by East Coast trains 1 train to Leeds and a daily service to Penzance. There is also a sleeper train to London aswell. Overall a good station to go to which has improved since Union Square opened in October 2009. read more
