I read this book in the early 90s when I was about 11 years old. My only recollections about the story are these:

A girl protagonist
Lives in a mysterious city with doors connecting to other time periods
A boy in her class gets stuck in the past and grows up to be Leonardo da Vinci
There is a sleeping giant under the city who must not be awakened

I believe the book begins in a train station with the girl arriving in the city.

Thanks!

This could be A Tale of Time City by Diana Wynne Jones. The protagonist is being evacuated by train during the Second World War when she's transported through time.
