Shining light on platform works at Edinburgh Waverley (September 2018)
Platforms 5 and 6 at Edinburgh Waverley are being reinstated and extended to 275m so that they can accommodate the new Azuma trains being commissioned by LNER in 2019. This view looks eastwards towards the Calton Tunnels with Platform 5 appearing on the left and platform 6 on the right. The picture was taken from the overhead walkway across the station to which the extended platforms will now approach, taking up the space once occupied by the now closed taxi rank. The new platforms should be commissioned sometime in 2019.
