158711-20130606

158711 (with DMSL 57711 nearest the camera) stands at Edinburgh Waverley station on a glorious 6 June 2013. The Balmoral Hotel (formerly the North British Station Hotel) dominates the skyline. Built by the North British Railway (NBR) the hotel opened 15 October 1902. The hotel's clock has always been set three minutes fast to ensure that the people of Edinburgh wouldn't miss their trains. The only day that the clock runs on time is on 31 December (Hogmanay) for the city's New Year celebrations.
