Edinburgh Princes Street railway station
:''Princes Street station is not to be confused with former North British Railway's Waverley station, located at the east end of the Princes Street Gardens''.
Princes Street Station was a mainline railway station which stood at the west end of Princes Street, in Edinburgh, Scotland, for almost 100 years. Temporary stations were opened in 1848 and 1870, with construction of the main station commencing in the 1890s. The station was closed completely in 1965 and largely demolished in 1969-70. Only its hotel remains, but it is no longer in railway ownership.

In April 1847, the foundation stone for the Caledonian Railway company's Edinburgh station was ceremonially laid. Designed by William Tite, the station was to be a large Italianate structure. Due to the railway company's lack of funds this was not built and when the first services arrived in February 1848 there was only a temporary station with basic facilities, called Lothian Road Station from its location on that street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hislop’s new plan of Edinburgh & Leith with suburbs ... )〕
By 1870, with increasing traffic, it was decided to build a new station slightly further north, still on Lothian Road but nearer Princes Street.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Plan of Edinburgh and Leith with Suburbs Constructed for the Post Office Directory by John Bartholomew )〕 Renamed Princes Street Station, it was opened in May 1870. It was built of timber with a pitched, slated roof. In June 1890, the building, which had been called the "wooden shanty", suffered a major blaze.
