Trains to Stirling - Station Details and further Information on Stirling Train Services
Stirling train station is a train station located in Stirling, Scotland. From the station, trains operate north to Perth, Inverness and Aberdeen, south west to Glasgow, and east to Edinburgh. The service to Alloa and Dunfermine was stopped in 1968, but the reopening of the Stirling-Alloa-Kincardine rail link partially restored that service with an hourly service from Glasgow to Alloa as an extension of the Croy Line services. This utilises the existing trains, which previously spent considerable time in one of the bay platforms at Stirling with engines idling, but now, in this otherwise wasted time, proceed to Alloa and return.
Most services are operated by First ScotRail although there is one train a day operated by National Express East Coast to London Kings Cross and one in the opposite direction to Inverness station. The station has nine platforms, though they are ordered 2 to 10 as the original Platform 1 was removed to make way for a new station car park several years ago, and it was not worthwhile changing all the platform numbers. The bay platforms at the north end of the station (Platforms 4 and 5) still exist but are not available to passenger trains. |
