History
Linlithgow station was opened by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway on 21 February 1842. It once featured an east-facing bay platform and a small goods yard, where the carpark is today. The station also had a railway hotel; The Star and Garter Hotel which was involved in a devastating fire in October 2010.
Photographs of the station taken in 1845 are believed to be the oldest photographic images of a railway subject anywhere in the world.

The station is served by trains on both the main Edinburgh to Glasgow main line and the Edinburgh - Stirling - Dunblane routes, with half-hourly calls each way on both routes on Mondays to Saturdays (hourly to Dunblane in the evening). The one return weekday Kirkcaldy to Glasgow commuter service also stops here in each direction.
