Scope and Content Joint Station, Aberdeen This shows the concourse, with its glazed steel-framed roof, from the south, looking towards platforms used by Great North of Scotland Railway trains to the north until the 1960s. On the right is one of the two entrances from the booking office, and on the left the train indicator screen and the bookstall. This was the last major station rebuilding project in Scotland until the 1960s. By 1971, as a result of the Beeching cuts of the mid-1960s, the station was much too large for the traffic it handled. It was considerably rationalised in the 1970s, though it is still substantially as remodelled in 1913-20. The first station on this site was opened jointly by the Caledonian, North British and Great North of Scotland Railways in 1867, when the last-named opened a line from Kittybrewster to meet the Caledonian Railway at Guild Street. The joint station was rebuilt in 1913-20 by the Caledonian Railway and Great North of Scotland Railway. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
