Introduction

The NBR operated services between Waverley station, Edinburgh and Queen Street station in Glasgow, Edinburgh and Carlisle (via Peebles – the Waverley Route) and between Newcastle upon Tyne and Aberdeen. The North British Hotel at the east end of Princes street in Edinburgh city centre forms a prominent landmark with its crown steeple displaying large clocks, renamed the Balmoral Hotel in the 1980s, though the old name is still shown in the stonework.
The North British was a partner (with the North Eastern Railway and the Great Northern Railway) in the East Coast Joint Stock operation from 1860.
The North British was responsible for the construction of the Forth Bridge and the Tay Bridge on the ''Route to the North'' in the nineteenth century.
