Description

This is a two platform station located just south of the Forth Bridge on its southern approach embankment. It was briefly known as Forth Bridge when first opened (signs read 'Forth Bridge for South Queensferry'). The station retains several of its original buildings. The main station building, of typical North British Railway design, is on the northbound platform. A sandstone former station building is on the west side, at street level, on Station Road. Covered walkways formerly ran down to the road. Although the original southbound platform building has been lost a smaller modern structure which tones in with the rest of the station has been provided.

There is a car park on the west side of the station.

Just south of the station there are loops on either side of the line. Also at the south end is a maintenance depot and workshops on the east side, accessed from the south.

Dalmeny signal box was at the south end of the northbound platform. It closed in 1979, taken over by the Edinburgh Signalling Centre. There was a scissors cross over north of the station.
