The station is a popular as a Park & Ride or Parkway Station for the Scottish Borders and Midlothian. The station was originally a terminus for Edinburgh Crossrail services when it opened in June 2002, but in 2015 the route was extended beyond Newcraighall towards , as part of the revival of the Waverley Route. Though the Waverley Route never had a station at this location during its lifetime, one did exist briefly at nearby Niddrie
Edinburgh Waverley railway station runs parallel to the railway to the immediate south. A need to increase capacity for through and west-end traffic led to three new platforms being built in 2006, on land formerly occupied by disused sidings and bypass lines within the main part of the station. Platform 10 is a through platform at the west end, facing Platform 11. Platforms 1 and 20 are a single long through platform facing Platforms 2 and 19. All are linked by the upgraded north-south overhead walkway linking the Waverley Steps (escalators) to Market Street. In December 2006, a partial renumbering of platforms took place
