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.

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)

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.

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.

What's it called? 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.

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.

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.
