Larbert railway station

The station was built by the Scottish Central Railway, opening on 1 March 1848. == Location ==

The station comprises two platforms - one serving northbound services via Stirling, and southbound services via Edinburgh and Glasgow - linked by a covered walkway. Goods loops exist immediately to the north of the station - which today are mainly used by freight services, to allow faster passenger trains to overtake. The station was modernised in the late 1970s with the two major platforms extended in 2004 along with additional security and information signage. With the growth in population of Larbert, the numbers of commuters and passengers using the station has risen in recent years. In common with almost all other stations in Scotland, Larbert station is operated by ScotRail who also provide the train services. In 2007, Larbert station underwent upgrades costing £850,000 with CCTV installed, new bicycle lockers, a footway and cycleways and a bus turning circle.
