Falkirk High is one of two train stations in Falkirk (the other station is Falkirk Grahamston) and…read moreconnects Falkirk to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. It's a small, staffed station with two platforms; one for trains heading East and one for those heading West. The station is situated a short, five minute walk from Falkirk's town centre. It has seating, WiFi, payphones, toilets and, apparently a newsagent, but I didn't spot it. More interestingly, it has a small, metal sculpture of "Antonine the Legendary Engine" by George Wyllie, which is protected by the Railway Heritage Committee.

This is one of the smaller stations we traveled in and out of on our most recent UK trip. While…read moreit's clean and relatively easy to navigate, you don't really have much to choose from while inside the station itself. There are stairs that lead from one platform to the next, and the signs can be a bit confusing (indeed, our first time through Stirling was on our trip from Inverness to Edinburgh, and I mistakenly read the signs as "up one flight to platform 2". Thank goodness my husband realized my mistake before we hauled all our luggage up and over for no reason!) The trains ran on schedule here, as well, the three times we had occasion to pop on and off. It got to be a bit of a push on our Edinburgh return train, as the train only had 3 cars and there were quite a few people looking to get on, but we managed to find good seats facing the right direction without an issue.

I like that there is a heated waiting room where other stations don't and a toilet that is free to use and when they do they charge you for the facilities. When l was heading back to Glasgow I had to use the rest room where a couple where getting jiggly in one of the cubicles, I knew this as her legs half way out the door, either that the guy was showing his cd collection and she was impressed but doubt that very much. Anyway to cut the story short l announced to the now full waiting room the goings on in the cubicle and for everyone to look at the door when they walked out, they had no shame, hope it wasn't a first date. This train station well deserved the 4 stars given for pure entertainment that l get every time l visit this station. P.s the couple sat at the seats across from me and got of at queen st.

(The second station is Falkirk High, just South of the centre). The station has a car park and bike stands as well as a taxi rank and some bus connections. It's staffed but there are ticket machines available as well and some setaing areas as well as a small newsagents. It's a fairly accessible station with ramps to the platforms - the only awkwardness is the footbridge across the two platforms, but you can also change platforms using the public roads and footpaths just outside the station. This station connects Edinburgh, Stirling and Dunblane as well as services to Cumbernauld. There are services to Glasgow too but these are less frequent and nonexistent on Sundays. The Highland Chieftain, which connects London Kings Cross to Inverness also stops here.

Cumbernauld…read more While Greenfaulds station is more in the outskirts of Cumbernauld, Cumbernauld station itself is in a more central location in the town, ideal for the shopping centres, industrial estates and the college, though it is still a bit 'out of town' for most peoples' liking. Trains from Motherwell (every hour) terminate here, as do some of the half-hourly services from Glasgow Queen Street, while some of them continue to Falkirk Grahamston. So the station is well-served. Like I mentioned at Neilston station, terminating trains reverse on to the other platform prior to departure south, so bear this in mind if travelling. The station building with its ticket office, together with the footbridge and its surrounding area, makes this station look very similar to Bishopton on the Gourock line in my opinion. It's a popular station with commuters, which includes my big cousin who works in one of the said industrial estates. And with the very comfortable, table-fitted, air-conditioned trains that serve it, it's luxury travel for a twenty-minute journey.

Although, there are some days when I don't cycle. - We'll call them 'yuck' days since that's the reaction they provoke when you open your curtains in the morning. Rain, hail, snow...YUCK; well and truly YUCK. If you cycle to work on such a day, you're going to arrive unhappy. Unhappy and wet. I'm not a frequent traveller from Bridge of Allan train station but, today, I'm grateful for its existence. Today was not a day for cycling, and so, I hopped on the train from Stirling to Bridge of Allan. Travelling via train rather than bus is a lot more cost effective and the journey takes just 5 minutes, with trains going between Stirling and B of A every half hour. A lot of people think that Stirling's a wee, wee place. And it is. But Bridge of Allan is such a tiny teeny wee place within an already wee place that the presence of a train station is a pleasant surprise. It'd be really convenient to get to Glasgow or Edinburgh if you lived in Bridge of Allan thanks to this station. And Dunblane and Stirling are both just a stop away. Also, there are really large shelters on both sides. - Hurray for staying dry while you wait for your train! No more ghastly bus fares! And no more unhappy faces on gloomy days, for I can get to work (relatively) dry!

It's my pathway to learning and back to home and for it I'm extremely grateful. That being said, it's the bare minimal requirement to be a station. There are some coverings to stand under, machines to buy tickets, and a sign saying which trains are coming next. This isn't bad, it's not really a station where you'd want to go when not travelling. It's not even one with a public toilet you can use in an emergency. It's just a place to wait for trains... and that's A-OK (thus the three star rating)

The trains are frequent to both Glasgow and Edinburgh and there's services to many smaller towns too that aren't on the Glasgow-Edinburgh shuttle service route. The staff are always very helpful and there never is much of a wait at either the counter or the machine. Only quibble is that you have to get a key from the counter to use the one toilet (accessible for wheelchairs). While this is never a problem, the station could do with more toilets that do not require a key, especially as it gets busier with all the new housing in the area.
