Although it is difficult to see how Waverley could be accessed by cars

I suppose the only other option would be on the street, such as the
bridges.



It's difficult to see how people arriving/departing by car/taxi could
be adequately served by pick up/set down on the bridges. There is
also the issue of where long term car parking could be provided.

Obviously none of these changes would be impossible, but they would
greatly reduce the utility of the station. Whether that would be
worth the reduction in security risk is difficult to evaluate.
