Built 1887-9, this island platform in a cutting is given some presence by 2-storey brick and stone offices/ waiting rooms (now let as recording
studios for noise-loving musicians) and is linked by iron and glass bridges to Riverside Drive. The 1959 booking hall has been re-clad to no good
effect. It will be rebuilt. The North British Railway used this through station to traverse Dundee via tunnels that skirted the Docks, cast iron beams
now replaced, inverted arched sides to tunnels and cuttings. The rival Caledonian Railway obliged passengers to trek between East and West Stations: a handsome Scots Baronial terminus that was at the foot of Union Street and an arched train shed near Victoria Dock. Both of these are
demolished.
