Scope and Content Joint Station, Aberdeen This shows the front of the station from the south-east. Behind the tall frontage is the full-height booking hall, and behind that the large full-height glazed concourse. The single-storeyed range on the left contain waiting rooms. 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 this elevation is little altered. 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.
