Facilities
The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway station building has been demolished and replaced with a modern, glass and steel building similar in design to that at Bishopbriggs.
The station has park-and-ride facilities, with spaces for over 900 vehicles. There are bus connections to Kilsyth and Cumbernauld. The lines through the station are currently (summer 2016) being electrified as part of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme. Platform lengthening work here is being carried out as part of this scheme, which will see E&G trains becoming electrically operated by December 2016 and those to Dunblane & Alloa by 2018.
