Edinburgh was once stitched together by dozens of railway stations - few of which still operate today.
Compared to other UK cities, Edinburgh has a noticeably slight railway network.
With the exception of Edinburgh Waverley and Haymarket, there are next to no railway stations in Scotland’s capital city - but this wasn’t always the case.

From Granton and Balerno, Morningside and Joppa, there was a time when residents living in almost every corner of the city had access to suburban rail services.
And, on top of the fact that there were once more than 50 individual railway stations, the city also had two extra termini: Leith Central and Edinburgh Princes Street.
In the heyday of the Edinburgh railway network, it's said that a journey from Corstorphine Station to Princes Street took just 11 minutes.
All that changed in the early 1960s with the commencement of the infamous ‘Beeching Cuts’ that sought to make Britain’s railways economically viable.
Edinburgh was one of the UK’s worst hit cities by the cuts, with the vast majority of its passenger lines being turned over to freight or closed for good.
Evidence of the old railway network can still be seen all over the city, with many of the former lines converted into public walkways and cycle paths.
