Maybe it's because I don't visit here enough. And maybe it's the construction that's been going on. But pretty much every time I visit Edinburgh Waverley I get lost and angry.\n\nI arrived here on Thursday and wanted to head towards the Old Town. I always get a little disorientated but managed to go in the right direction, but somehow I couldn't find the toilets. Probably because we arrived at a platform that seemed to be closer to Leith than Edinburgh. \n\nThe other thing that bugs me is the connection between Waverley and Old Town. I can't work out how to avoid walking up the 1,000 steps of Fleshmarket and always come out at the exit right in front of them. I don't want to do this anymore - living in Glasgow has made me soft and lazy. \n\nOn my return journey, I needed to buy a ticket due to it being a peak train rather than off peak (don't even get me started on that issue). That meant I had to go down to the main concourse, buy a ticket and then walk back up the stairs to platform 8E (or maybe it was 8W). There was a train on the platform, but of course it wasn't actually the train to Glasgow despite the sign saying it was. \n\nI managed to get on the right train and returned to the comforting bosom of Glasgow's easy to use Central Station, where everything is where is should be and there aren't any stairs (unless you go to the low level, of course).
