The station is equipped with a waiting room, a bench, a help point and some bike racks. The station is only accessible from a stepped overbridge and thus has no step-free access.[7] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

Services

Mondays to Saturdays, the station is served by three Scotrail trains per day in each direction, northbound to Template:Rws and southbound to Template:Rws, along with the Highland Caledonian Sleeper between London Euston and Template:Rws via Edinburgh Waverley (the latter doesn't run southbound on Saturday nights or northbound on Sunday mornings, and only calls at the station on request). Sundays see just two trains per day call, as well as the southbound sleeper. The sleeper also carries seated coaches and can thus be used by regular passengers from/to Glasgow (Queen St Low Level) and Edinburgh.[9][10][11]
