Scope and Content The Train Shed, Haymarket Station, Edinburgh Haymarket Station, an early Victorian station built to the west of Princes Street, was designed by the civil engineer, John Miller in 1840 as the head office and eastern terminus of the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, which opened in 1842. The train shed stands at a lower level than the station buildings. The iron and timber roof is carried by a series of graceful brackets, scrolled with Neo-Greek designs, and supported on fluted iron columns. The shed is now at Bo'ness. Haymarket Station was the first main-line railway terminus in Edinburgh. The Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway finished here until the boring of the 1,000m-Haymarket Tunnel took the line through Princes Street Gardens to Waverley Station in 1846.
