Information on Aberdeen Station
The approach to Aberdeen along the North Sea coast from Stonehaven gives an excellent view of the pleasant skyline of the Granite City. The station then matches that initial impression, having been attractively modernized with a light, airy concourse and provided with a well equipped Travel Centre along the main frontage. Its situation is convenient for city and docks and there is a bus station nearby.
The Aberdeen Railway reached Aberdeen from the south in1850 and was to have been amalgamated with the Great North of Scotland concern. But this was not to be, and when the GNofSR Huntley-Kittybrewster line was extended to Aberdeen in 1855 it was to a separate station at Waterloo Quay. Passenger traffic began in 1856, but another 11 years were to pass before a joint station was built on the former Guild Street site. Then, the Caledonian Railway, as successors to the Aberdeen and Scottish North Eastern companies, partnered the GNofSR in a Guild Street combination of terminal and through station, the two partners rebuilding the location in 1913-16.
A double span bridge carries the cobbles of Guild Street over the stations through lines and their canopies. The frontage then runs at right angles to the street and since 1985 has accommodated a Travel Centre beneath the upper works of seven sections separated by double pilasters. A marbled passageway then leads to the sizeable concourse with its ribbed and braced ridge roof. A modern indicator stands in front of the double footbridge staircase which now leads only to platform 7, the other side of the island and the outer platform being out of use. Beyond the south end screens of the concourse are five curved bay platforms and at the north end there is a car park.
The Aberdeen Travel Centre accommodates the GNofSR war memorial previously housed in the company's offices at 80 Guild Street. That company also owned the Station Hotel while another building nearby is the goods shed still displaying a traditional interior.
