Description
Dalmeny Station, opened in 1890, is a two-platform through railway station built for the Forth Bridge Company.
The booking office is at road level and is a single-storey structure with an irregular plan and bays. It is constructed from heavily tooled sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, featuring raised surrounds to the openings, a moulded cornice, and a parapet. The north elevation facing Station Road has five bays, a grey slate piended roof, two corniced wallhead stacks, and a single ridge stack. The openings are boarded over, with doorways in the outer bays and two bipartite windows and a single window in the middle bays. The west elevation has a doorway and a single window in the advanced bays to the right, and a single window in the bay to the left. The south elevation, which faces the car park, features three doorways, a bipartite window, and a broad doorway with panelled doors in the outer right bay. The interior was not seen in 1997.
The northbound waiting room and canopy are built with vertical timber boarding and a brick substructure, topped with a grey slate piended roof and cast iron rainwater goods. The east elevation facing the platform has a rendered brick base course with moulded timber mullions and transoms above the glazing, three doorways with panelled doors, and a canopy with a cornice and decorative pierced timber valance, supported by five cast iron columns with quatrefoil cantilever brackets. The north and south elevations have boarded panels. The west elevation has two sets of timber steps leading up to panelled doors and tall shouldered brick stacks.
The southbound waiting room also features vertical timber boarding with a brick substructure, a grey slate piended roof, and cast iron rainwater goods, along with deep overhanging eaves. The west elevation facing the platform has eight bays, with timber panelled doors that have glazed upper panels in the outer bays and boarded panels above. The central bays contain fixed single windows with boarded aprons and panels above. The interior has timber lining boards.
The platforms have replacement concrete retaining walls, tarmac surfacing with concrete slab edging, and timber picket fencing, which is interrupted by a latticed steel parapet over the road bridge on the outer sides of both platforms.
