This is the dismal, deserted station that is the stop for all those travelling to St Andrews. There…read moreare platforms in either direction and a small waiting room for those like me on my last trip who had missed the train to Edinburgh by one minute since the bus from St Andrews wasn't timed properly to get us there for the train. Therefore, I had to wait 30 min for the next train, which them proceeded to be a slow 1 1/2 hour train to Edinburgh instead of the 50 minute train. Sad day! I was waylaid at the Leuchars station like a beached whale unable to do anything. In short, it's rediculous that St Andrews doesn't have its own station and the Leuchars station is a rather pathetic one.

The layout has changed since the last time I was here and I found it easier than before. The fact…read morethere's only 3 platforms probably helps too. There's a snack machine and toilets. I don't think there's a cafe anymore but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I liked the red, yellow and green painted steps on the way out, very cheery.

Price wise I believe is different depending on where you start. We alway stick to the return instead of one way. The station itself is pretty big. Lots of terminals so make sure to check the schedule to see where your train is at. Sometimes schedule changes so also be aware. There's a good amount of quick and easy eating places. Coffee shops as well. Right in the heart of the station, you'll find a couple of things to do. Mainly grab a drink if your waiting for your train.... lol... There alway security on hand if you have any questions about anything. The stations where you get on and off the train is pretty long so it could be a walk to exit if you're coming off from the end of train. It's a couple of flights on the escalator till you reach the top. There's an indoor waiting area as well as public restrooms. But if it's your first time, it could be a little intimidating finding your way around. Also a few different ways to enter and exit.

Edinburgh Waverley is nestled between the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh. It is surrounded by some…read morefamous 'neighbors' including Princes Street, Princes Street Gardens, and North Bridge- all of which are overseen by the imposing fortress, Edinburgh Castle. Visitors arriving into Edinburgh generally do so via one of two routes - fly into the city's airport, or disembark from a train at Waverley Station, the largest and most central of the city's two major stations. Waverley offers by far the most dramatic welcome into the city, with visitors emerging right into the heart of Edinburgh, with the castle ahead of you, the Old Town to the left, and the Scott Monument and New Town along to the right: it's kind of overwhelming while exiting. note: they have lift to take you to road level. Fact: it's the world's only railway station named after a work of literature. but prior to the station being named Waverley, it was formerly the North British Railway Station - run by the North British Railway company. There was a time when Scotland was referred to as 'north Britain', which may shed light on some of the country's identity issues!

Quaint and comfy station. We rode in for a tour at Belhaven. Because the station is so small,…read moreyou're not likely to get lost, but if you have questions, their station masters are on hand and ready to help. There's a small waiting room posted in between the main entrance and the restrooms. They have the usual pamphlets and such for those visiting the area. We didn't spend a whole lot of time in the station itself. We were on a tight timeline to walk to Belhaven, and when we returned, we slipped in the front door and kept walking right onto the outbound train. We did stop long enough to notice that it's a clean station, and that the employees we encountered were friendly and helpful for those who had questions along the way.

The trains are frequent to both Glasgow and Edinburgh and there's services to many smaller towns too that aren't on the Glasgow-Edinburgh shuttle service route. The staff are always very helpful and there never is much of a wait at either the counter or the machine. Only quibble is that you have to get a key from the counter to use the one toilet (accessible for wheelchairs). While this is never a problem, the station could do with more toilets that do not require a key, especially as it gets busier with all the new housing in the area.

There aren't many facilities here other than the ticket office and a self service kiosk. Toilets are available free of charge inside the station but still look as if they are from the 1960's be advised that they vary opening times but usually open at 8am. The station is clean and tidy with a seating area inside whilst you wait for your train. Plenty of places to go if you are stuck here for a while. There is a news agents around the corner handy for juice and the daily papers.

The 7 platforms are quite spread out so allow yourself a few minutes for navigation across bridges if you're unfamiliar with the station. Toilets are clean and beyond the barriers so you can leave it right up until the last minute to go - good if you're setting out on a long train journey and would prefer not to have to go on the train. (I don't often mind but as a solo traveller today I'd prefer not to have to haul all my stuff with me to the toilet, and asking someone to get up to let me out.) There's a small kiosk where you can buy snacks - this is before the barriers. Clearly identifiable recycling bins. The departure board can be seen clearly as soon as you walk in the main entrance, you don't have to go hunting for it. I've heard the car park is quite tiny for the amount of footfall this station gets but as a non-driver that's unlikely to affect me. As far as train stations go I'm quite happy with it.
