Waverley Railway Station is the main railway station serving Edinburgh, Scotland. It is the northern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, 632 km from King's Cross Station in London, but some trains operated by the London Northeast Railway continue to travel to other Scottish destinations outside Edinburgh.

The service to and from Edinburgh Waverley is operated primarily by Abellio ScotRail, including four routes to Glasgow. The station is the terminus of the West Coast Main Line Edinburgh Station for Virgin Train and TransPennine Express services. The long-distance intercity train to England is operated by CrossCountry to destinations such as York, Leeds, Birmingham, Bristol and Plymouth.

The Waverley station is located in a steep, narrow valley between the medieval old town and the 18th century New Town. The premier shopping street – Princes Street is close to its north side. The Waverley Bridge is located on the west side of the station.

Maesteg is a town and community in Bridgend County Borough, Wales. Maesteg lies at the northernmost end of the Llynfi Valley, close to the border with Neath Port Talbot. In 2011, Maesteg had a population of 20,612. The English translation of Maesteg is 'fair field'. Historically a part of Glamorgan, the growth of the town started with the opening of ironworks in the 1820s, and 1830s. Once a coal mining area, the last pit closed in 1985. With the decline of the coal industry and, more recently, the closure of one large factory producing cosmetics and another manufacturing vehicle components, the valley has become a residential/dormitory area for the Port Talbot, Bridgend and Cardiff journey to work areas. 11% (1,867 out of 20,702) of the town's population speak Welsh with 27.9% of 3-15 year olds speaking the language. It is one of the few areas of Wales where the traditional Mari Lwyd is still celebrated during Christmas.
