Scope and Content Train at Waverley Station, Edinburgh This shows the west end of platform 17, at the west end of the station in September 1989, looking east. The train is an Edinburgh-Glasgow one composed of push-pull coaches, with a type 47/7 locomotive at this end. The locomotive was usually at the other end of the train. These push-pull trains were introduced in 1979, replacing an earlier generation which had a type 27 locomotive at each end, introduced in 1971. The 47/7 locomotives were specially modified for this service. The push-pull trains were supplanted by class 158 diesel railcars in the early 1970s. This station was opened in 1846 by the North British and Edinburgh & Glasgow Railways as a terminus. It was remodelled in the mid-1860s, and again in 1892-1902, to give increased capacity, on both occasions by the North British Railway. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
