Scope and Content Haymarket Railway Station, Haymarket Terrace, Edinburgh This station was opened in 1842 by the Edinburgh & Glasgow Railway, as their Edinburgh terminus. It had a cast-iron train shed, and a building on an upper level which housed the booking office and waiting rooms on the ground floor, and the offices and board room on the first floor. This shows the cast iron-framed train shed from the stairs leading down from the booking office to the platforms. To the left is the present station, first built in the late 1840s, but since enlarged and rebuilt. This train shed was dismantled in 1981 and re-erected at the Scottish Railway Preservation Society's Bo'ness depot, where it performs its original function. The original surface building is still in use as the booking office and foyer for the modernised station below. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
