Old station, modern accessibility features.

Operational since 1846, it's fair to say this is a historical location. Located in a narrow valley, it's unusual to descend into a train station, but from Waverley Bridge, that's exactly what you do. Despite its age, it's thoroughly accessible and is one of only two train stations in Scotland with a British Sign Language (BSL) departure board. It also had a quick cameo in Avengers: Infinity War, though thankfully, the damage sustained in the battle that took place there is just movie magic.
