This was closed when the platform was extended. However they have now constructed a parallel walkway to the walkway and put the escalator back in. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288876 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 16:10:17 +0000 jonty 288876@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My understanding is that the current 'redevelopment' is essentially stage 1 of the master plan - all they're doing is adding more platforms. The next bit is about working out how you can fit even more, some of them going all the way though, without compromising access. The solution they've been thinking about for a while is a mezzanine floor above the platform level - sort of like the current overhead walkway but bigger. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288861 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 10:27:13 +0000 dougal 288861@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288858 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 09:55:06 +0000 steveo 288858@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"BUILD MORE TRAIN TRACKS THEN"</em></p> <p>Compromise, Monorail? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288856 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 09:49:44 +0000 ARobComp 288856@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"You need another runway" </p> <p>"We're a train stat..." </p> <p>"BUILD MORE TRAIN TRACKS THEN" </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288853 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 08:49:04 +0000 Frenchy 288853@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I don't think I'd ever noticed the ceiling in there before... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=19048#post-288851 Tue, 14 Aug 2018 08:30:00 +0000 chdot 288851@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>The architect firm behind the £16 billion expansion of Heathrow Airport is set to mastermind the long-term future of Edinburgh’s Waverley Station. </p> <p>Edinburgh based consultants, Arup, will lead a group of highly experienced professionals in shaping a Masterplan for Scotland’s second busiest station, which welcomes 20 million passengers a year.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-waverley-set-for-revamp-to-help-ease-demand-at-station-1-4783498" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinburgh-waverley-set-for-revamp-to-help-ease-demand-at-station-1-4783498</a></p> <p>Um, didn’t the do any of that before the current redevelopment??</p> <p>‘We built, they came - but we didn’t expect it’. </p>
