Refurbishment Edinburgh Waverly Station

Waverley Station in Edinburgh is undergoing a major refurbishment, aimed at increasing the capacity of the railway hub, which is struggling to cope with 23 million passengers a year and 574 trains a day. In the week between Christmas and New Year, four new platforms came into operation and in addition to trains using the new facilities, all the platform numbers were changed too. This led to a lot of confusion amongst regular passengers and the situation was not helped on the first day by an accident on the Forth Bridge, which resulted in the suspension of services from the Capital to Fife and the North-east of the country.
