It's barely even a station, and more of an lonely,…read moredesolate area with two platforms, a bridge and one small shelter for those "rare" Scottish days of bad weather. This is my local station though, and needs must. I like that trains seem to arrive on time and if the driver sees you running for the train, they'll (mostly) wait for you. I've had some great times standing at this platform, most notably in the snow in negative temperatures and then tramping back home again as the train was a no-show. There's now an extra car park in addition to the one at the station, it's over the road and has a stupidly located exit so you have to go back on yourself to get out and over to the station. Nothing like a mad dash to run for the train first thing in the morning. II'd love it if they upgraded Patterton to make it more like its glamorous neighbour, Whitecraigs. Now this is a fancy station - they even have flower planter boxes and an indoor waiting area. Alas, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

The train station is dirty but the coach seat was perfect and clean once on the train. The passengers and workers were extremely friendly and helpful, making for a great, safe and comforting trip. The boarding process was quick and easy, especially with luggage. Although we had to carry our luggage up 1 stair, the train wasn't sold out so there was plenty of room for our many bags.

Well, a word to the wise, this may not be a totally impartial review as I'm local to this station…read more As in, walk to the bottom of my road, turn left and BOOM there it is. It's a nice little station, and it's handy. There's two basic services from here, to Glasgow and to Edinburgh every two hours. Both of these take approximately 45mins, which isn't bad at all. The last train from Edinburgh to Carstairs arrives at midnight - very good for the odd night out. There's also the sleeper service direct to London, which I've also used. Walk from my door, hop on a train, go to sleep and wake up in London! How good is that??? The station itself is very busy for through traffic, with pretty much every Glasgow and further north service heading south at speed through the station. Ideal if you have an anorak and thermos flask,,, The ticket office is manned in the morning, until about 2pm - after that, tickets are available on the trains. The village itself doesn't have much in the way of attractions if you're planning to visit - there's a primary school, a Londis (with a post office!), a hairdresser, a pub and a couple of haulage firms. Oh, and the State Mental Hospital, but I don't use that. Honest. *twitch* You can get a bus from the station into Lanark, which opens up New Lanark and the likes, so you could make a day of it that way. It's my station. I like it. So there.

The station is very disappointing considering it must serve hundreds of people going to and from Preswtick Airport every day. The two platforms only have trains passing through every half hour. There is nowhere for passengers to sit apart from on their suitcases planked on the cold stone floor. Even though there is a shelter, it is not very sheltering. The last time I visited it was absolutely freezing.

Gah, Already fed up on your way home from a city break to Paris, Barcelona or Oslo (whatever…read moreRyanair flight was cheapest), Prestwick Airport Railway Station will do nothing to brighten your spirits. No shelter from the biting wind and no place to sit apart from your 15 kilo carry on suitcase, its a grim half hour wait for the train to Glasgow or Ayr.

I pass through this station most days and the staff are always really friendly; one cheerful ticket lady ushered me through the barrier for free when I passed through on new year's eve, which was a nice wee festive treat. There's rarely a queue, the staff are lovely and it's ideally located for those holidaying in one of the nearby hotels or for locals heading to work or into town. An ideal wee station.

It's also very close to the King's Theatre and the Mitchell Library. There are no barriers in opertion at this station, so it's quick in and out. The only obstacle is the stairs, but you can always take the lift if you're feeling lazy! Lines operate from Drumgelloch and Springburn to Milngavie, Helensburgh, and Balloch. There's also a wee WH Smith, which is quite expensive but they often have deals on chocolate and it's great for picking up your morning paper. Another added bonus is that when you're heading east you beat the rush for seats that follows at Queen Street. Brilliant!

It's on the East Kilbride line and has services about every 30 minutes into town or East Kilbride. I like the trains on this line as they tend to be quite comfortable, a bit better than the basic ones on the Neilston line (but then, a train's a train and it's not that long of a journey). The trip into Glasgow is a short 17 minute journey and is £2.90 for a single or £3.10 for an off-peak return. If you're travelling to Giffnock, you'll find a lovely village-style town with some really great shops worth visiting - Whole Foods Market is the big draw card, but there's some other places worth stopping along the way as well as a couple of nice restaurants and the Orchard Park Hotel if you want a drink.

There's one train to Glasgow every half hour during peak times in the week, and one per hour later at night and on Sundays. The ticket office is functional, at best - no facilities of any kind. No ticket machine to use if the office is closed, so get your ticket from the man/woman/unicorn on the train. If the ticket office is closed, be warned - there is NO shelter from the elements. There's an unused building on the unused platform that could easily be repurposed as a shop, a cafe, even just a waiting room with a roof! It has always been that way as far as I can remember, and seems a shame. It's a railway station, and it does what it's supposed to do. Just don't ask for bells whistles, or even cover from the rain and snow.
