Ex-GNSR no 49 Gordon Highlander runs through Haymarket with the special 9am Glasgow Central - Leith Central via Shotts on 19 April 1965. The train was part of Scottish Rambler No 4 and would later join up with a second train hauled by ex-CR 123 at Carstairs [see image 20513] before the combination returned west to end the tour at Glasgow Buchanan Street. Note the station clock and Haymarket Ice Rink on the right.

Platforms 1 and 2 contain incoming and outgoing Fife Circle services, with the former running through to Newcraighall. At platform 3 is the 11.40 ex-Helensburgh Central, bound for Waverley, and at platform 4 is the 13.37 Waverley - Milngavie.

Perhaps taking advantage of the fact that the Haymarket area is a building site (and has been for what seems like decades) the 1842 Haymarket station building is having another facelift.  Open scaffolding now seems increasingly to be a thing of the past with today's sites looking as if they are hermetically sealed.  This surely improves the workers' conditions and has the bonus of relegating unseemly sexist behaviour to another age.
