Karan Warner Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Greetings, Many months ago I remember coming across a track plan of Leith Central station, which immediately caught my eye. I saved it to my computer which has since corrupted, and I can no longer seem to find it on google images. I have used old maps and other such websites to reconstruct the array of scissors crossovers in the approaching tracks, but none of the maps reveal the layout of the platforms/sidings under the overall roof. Would anyone happen to have a full plan that they could share, or point me in a direction where I might have more luck? Thank you in advance, Karan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeremyC Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 (edited) You don't mention what era you're interested in, but the National records of Scotland have some records about Leith Central station during its period as a diesel depot. http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/overview.aspx?st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n&k=leith+central&ko=a&r=&ro=s&df=&dt=&di=y (general search for Leith Central) The following are links to specific records http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=BR%2fRSR%2f4%2f47&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n&k=leith+central&ko=a&r=&ro=s&df=&dt=&di=y http://catalogue.nrscotland.gov.uk/nrsonlinecatalogue/details.aspx?reference=BR%2fRSR%2f5%2f27&st=1&tc=y&tl=n&tn=n&tp=n&k=leith+central&ko=a&r=&ro=s&df=&dt=&di=y Edited January 20, 2019 by JeremyC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karan Warner Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thanks for those links. As far as era is concerned I don't think it is all that important. As far as I believe the station was altered very little during its lifetime, though I wouldn't bet on me being right. However, I don't know if that also applies to the period after the station's closure, when it was converted into a depot. If the plan remained the same (or recognisable) then that would be suitable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
