Edinburgh Waverley evacuation 'false alarm'

Published 24th Apr 2017

Edinburgh Waverley was almost evacuated earlier - after an emergency alarm was triggered by accident.

A recorded message played telling people to leave the station but the alert, and the evacuation, was quickly cancelled.

It's understood it happened when a button was pressed by mistake.

It's not known how many people were evacuated, and rail services haven't been disrupted by the incident.
