There aren't many facilities here other than the ticket office and a self service kiosk. Toilets are available free of charge inside the station but still look as if they are from the 1960's be advised that they vary opening times but usually open at 8am. The station is clean and tidy with a seating area inside whilst you wait for your train. Plenty of places to go if you are stuck here for a while. There is a news agents around the corner handy for juice and the daily papers.

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.

Price wise I believe is different depending on where you start. We alway stick to the return instead of one way. The station itself is pretty big. Lots of terminals so make sure to check the schedule to see where your train is at. Sometimes schedule changes so also be aware. There's a good amount of quick and easy eating places. Coffee shops as well. Right in the heart of the station, you'll find a couple of things to do. Mainly grab a drink if your waiting for your train.... lol... There alway security on hand if you have any questions about anything. The stations where you get on and off the train is pretty long so it could be a walk to exit if you're coming off from the end of train. It's a couple of flights on the escalator till you reach the top. There's an indoor waiting area as well as public restrooms. But if it's your first time, it could be a little intimidating finding your way around. Also a few different ways to enter and exit.

Edinburgh Waverley is nestled between the Old and New Towns of Edinburgh. It is surrounded by some…read morefamous 'neighbors' including Princes Street, Princes Street Gardens, and North Bridge- all of which are overseen by the imposing fortress, Edinburgh Castle. Visitors arriving into Edinburgh generally do so via one of two routes - fly into the city's airport, or disembark from a train at Waverley Station, the largest and most central of the city's two major stations. Waverley offers by far the most dramatic welcome into the city, with visitors emerging right into the heart of Edinburgh, with the castle ahead of you, the Old Town to the left, and the Scott Monument and New Town along to the right: it's kind of overwhelming while exiting. note: they have lift to take you to road level. Fact: it's the world's only railway station named after a work of literature. but prior to the station being named Waverley, it was formerly the North British Railway Station - run by the North British Railway company. There was a time when Scotland was referred to as 'north Britain', which may shed light on some of the country's identity issues!

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.

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.

But I'm happy that I can get here by train nonetheless. This station also won a bronze tidy award a few years ago. Although, when I was there, it looked like a packet of skittles had exploded all over the sheltered area. Speaking of the sheltered area, the entrance is a little confusing. - The doors say automatic. And yet they don't open. I was confused. I tried to pull open the door before the lady inside pointed me to a button on the lower right hand side of the door. One push of the button, and an accompanying side of mild embarrassment later, and I was in. Not long after, another man made the same mistake. And I told him the same. - On the cycle goes. So, the doors are semi-automatic really. Not the kind that open for you, as their sign would suggest. I can imagine wrenching the door open over time can't be good for the poor door. And, also, if you couldn't see the button, or manage to pull the door open, and you desperately wanted out of the rain, you'd probably become a little annoyed with the door's lacking automatic feature. The result is feeling like a bit of a numptie; a damp one. And the antidote is a clear sign which reads 'to open door, press button on right.' Alas, it gets me from one place to another. Nine minutes from Stirling to Alloa, to be precise.
