It wasn't just the through platform area that was modified after the railway moved out of Granton Gasworks. The footbridge from the top level was removed and the arch largely bricked up. Steps were built to a new front door on the lower level; tracks previously ran right alongside the building on this side. The gas lamp columns are obviously a more recent 'heritage' addition.

Morning winter sunshine catches this fine Edwardian building on 17 January 2015. Try and imagine hordes of men with bunnets (flat caps) and moustaches pouring out of workmen's trains towards the huge gasworks to the left. The tram competiton stopped a mile short at Granton Square. This part of Edinburgh has been transformed in recent years by the ongoing Waterfront project, but this building and one preserved gasometer survive. See image [[33048]]

Granton Gasworks station from the south in 1999. Three gasholders still stood at that time, the easternmost of which dominates the view.
