Does it sound weird to say Waverley never quite seems finished? I don't just mean the apparently perpetual work to add escalators or refurbish the concourses. I mean from the outside too. It looks like an urban polytunnel, as though one day they will pull back the covers and reveal a beautiful ripe railway station, running over with iron rail juice trails.\n\nNuh-uh. I love Waverley as the herald of homecoming, my arrival point at the most beautiful city in the world. I do not love Waverley for its dodgy platform signage, roads within the station, bizarre navigation routes between platforms, and general sense of grime.\n\nOn the plus side, it's got an M&S Simply Food, a good-sized WH Smith, Upper Crust, Boots (for those forgotten toothbrushes and last-minute cosmetic touchups), Caffe Nero, WhistleStop, Burger King, pasty stand, Millie's Cookies and even a bureau de change, so there's plenty to do while you're finding your way around. It also adjoins Princes Mall in case you arrived fiendishly early for your train and need some shoes. But the layout can cause frustration even beyond the palliative powers of a shortcrust pasty.
