It quickly became apparent that the station and its track arrangement was inadequate. The Second Stationīy 1868 the North British Railway had absorbed General and Canal Street stations and demolished all three to build the station in its current position. From 1854 these three stations were collectively known as ‘Waverley’, named after the Sir Walter Scott Waverley Novels. North Bridge station, the terminus of the North British Railway from Berwick-upon-Tweed opened in 1846, General Station, the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway’s station opened in 1847 the same day as the Edinburgh, Leith and Granton Railway’s Canal Street Station. Originally there were three stations built in the 1840s to serve the city. The current Edinburgh Waverly Station opened in 1868. Since then, it has gone through redesign and redevelopment to make it a station fit for the Scottish capital and Britain’s second largest station.
