WAVERLEY & TWO STREETS

 Right, let's have a pint before anything else. Connecting the Old Town with Waverley station is Cockburn Street, which houses the Malt Shovel.

From near here are views over the east end of the station.

In pregrouping days, Waverley was served by the North British Railway......

.....and the North Eastern.

At the western end of Waverley station, LNER (ex NBR) 9875 comes out of the tunnels.

In the station, around the late 1970s, a Cravens DMU, unusually in blue & grey livery.

27006 runs light here in 1983.

Here's the east end of Waverley station, before the wires came.

Electrification has arrived! 305 502 forms a North Berwick service.

08570 is the station pilot, in InterCity colours.

90018 awaits its next duty in 1998.

Scotrail 150 259 on a local in 2001.

Modern units at Waverley in 2007, 2014 and 2017.

Up on  Waverley Bridge is a Wetherspoon's, the Booking Office.

Now, a selection of Lothian Regional Transport buses on Waverley Bridge over the years.

To the west of Waverley station, the railway runs through Princes Street Gardens.

The Scott Monument overlooks it all.

Looking east from the Scott Monument.

Another crop of Lothian Buses, all on Princes Street.

East Coast Buses is the name given to LRT's country services.

Edinburgh's trams also run along Princes Street.

Princes Street is a good place to photograph other company's buses, such as Eastern Scottish.

Firstbus had a presence later.

Just off Princes Street (full of shops, not pubs) is West Register Street, where the Guildford Arms can be found.

Just around the corner is the Cafe Royal.

Runniing parallel with Princes Street is Rose Street, where there are plenty of pubs. This one used to brew its own beer.

One of the best of the Rose Street pubs is the Abbotsford Bar.

That's it for now. The next post will find us in the New Town.
