    Great thread. Have always found the old railway network of edinburgh fascinating. Shame it no longer exists.
    Morningside Station, passenger service from 1884-1962, I think.

    The gate to the station was across from the clock.

    There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

    Apart from the existence of a platform, nothing there today that tells the story of what was once a busy commuter station.PXL_20220331_115531404.jpg

    It’s been a while since I stayed there, the footbridge was a bit of a state. It didn’t really serve any purpose anymore other than to get in onto the end of Maxwell Street, from Balcarres Street. Even then it was saving you a couple of minutes top.

    A colourized version of the 1930s video of Edinburgh posted earlier in the thread. Really brings it to life.
