About MeThe railway first reached Aberdeen in 1850. The first station was on the north side of the River Dee at Ferryhill but later moving to a site at Guild Street. In 1854 The Great North of Scotland Railway opened a line from Kittybrewster to Huntly. A year later this line was extended to Waterloo Quay by the harbour. This meant the lines north and west of the city had a station separate from the main junction south. This required passengers to travel on foot or by horse drawn wagon along the quays. This weakness in the rail system was only rectified in 1867 when the Denburn Valley extension was opened, linking Kittybrewster to a new station on Guild Street. The station was shared by the Scottish North Eastern Railway and the Great North of Scotland hence the name Joint Station.
