There's one train to Glasgow every half hour during peak times in the week, and one per hour later at night and on Sundays. The ticket office is functional, at best - no facilities of any kind. No ticket machine to use if the office is closed, so get your ticket from the man/woman/unicorn on the train. If the ticket office is closed, be warned - there is NO shelter from the elements. There's an unused building on the unused platform that could easily be repurposed as a shop, a cafe, even just a waiting room with a roof! It has always been that way as far as I can remember, and seems a shame. It's a railway station, and it does what it's supposed to do. Just don't ask for bells whistles, or even cover from the rain and snow.

Balloch may not be the most desirable of places to go, but there is plenty to do in this area…read more The train station has a small platform, with a ticket office, waiting room.

Price wise I believe is different depending on where you start. We alway stick to the return instead of one way. The station itself is pretty big. Lots of terminals so make sure to check the schedule to see where your train is at. Sometimes schedule changes so also be aware. There's a good amount of quick and easy eating places. Coffee shops as well. Right in the heart of the station, you'll find a couple of things to do. Mainly grab a drink if your waiting for your train.... lol... There alway security on hand if you have any questions about anything. The stations where you get on and off the train is pretty long so it could be a walk to exit if you're coming off from the end of train. It's a couple of flights on the escalator till you reach the top. There's an indoor waiting area as well as public restrooms. But if it's your first time, it could be a little intimidating finding your way around. Also a few different ways to enter and exit.

It has a cracking wee deli within walking distance! Regular service, at least 2 trains an hour towards Glasgow, and towards Lanark (and the odd Edinburgh service too) so you won't be stuck here for too long. Allow a wee bit extra for making it to your platform if you have to cross the big bridge, though!

Very clean, modern, has heating which is great in the…read morecolder months, wide platforms with a few shelters to hide from the wind and rain in, lots of seats in the waiting room, lots of Metro newspapers in the morning! The trains are frequent to both Glasgow and Edinburgh and there's services to many smaller towns too that aren't on the Glasgow-Edinburgh shuttle service route. The staff are always very helpful and there never is much of a wait at either the counter or the machine. Only quibble is that you have to get a key from the counter to use the one toilet (accessible for wheelchairs). While this is never a problem, the station could do with more toilets that do not require a key, especially as it gets busier with all the new housing in the area.

Ohhhh Patterton. What a sad train station. It's barely even a station, and more of an lonely,…read moredesolate area with two platforms, a bridge and one small shelter for those "rare" Scottish days of bad weather. This is my local station though, and needs must. I like that trains seem to arrive on time and if the driver sees you running for the train, they'll (mostly) wait for you. I've had some great times standing at this platform, most notably in the snow in negative temperatures and then tramping back home again as the train was a no-show. There's now an extra car park in addition to the one at the station, it's over the road and has a stupidly located exit so you have to go back on yourself to get out and over to the station. Nothing like a mad dash to run for the train first thing in the morning. II'd love it if they upgraded Patterton to make it more like its glamorous neighbour, Whitecraigs. Now this is a fancy station - they even have flower planter boxes and an indoor waiting area. Alas, I don't think that's going to happen any time soon.

Two heading into Glasgow, terminating at Milngavie and Dalmuir and two heading to Hamilton and Motherwell, terminating at Motherwell, Larkhall and Lanark. The staff here are always pleasant, I had a lovely wee chat today. The main building is small and where the ticket office is, which also contains some seating. It's located on platform 1, heading into Glasgow. If you alight, as they say in the train jargon, on platform 2 look out for the two metal African men carrying a boat, I think. Not real metal men then that would be Cybermen. Eep! Anyway, follow the path beside them and head down Station Road and this takes you to the David Livingstone Centre. There's plenty of activity happening down there as they are celebrating his 200th birthday this year. Oooft he's got old. Hehe!

Cumbernauld…read more While Greenfaulds station is more in the outskirts of Cumbernauld, Cumbernauld station itself is in a more central location in the town, ideal for the shopping centres, industrial estates and the college, though it is still a bit 'out of town' for most peoples' liking. Trains from Motherwell (every hour) terminate here, as do some of the half-hourly services from Glasgow Queen Street, while some of them continue to Falkirk Grahamston. So the station is well-served. Like I mentioned at Neilston station, terminating trains reverse on to the other platform prior to departure south, so bear this in mind if travelling. The station building with its ticket office, together with the footbridge and its surrounding area, makes this station look very similar to Bishopton on the Gourock line in my opinion. It's a popular station with commuters, which includes my big cousin who works in one of the said industrial estates. And with the very comfortable, table-fitted, air-conditioned trains that serve it, it's luxury travel for a twenty-minute journey.

The station is clean and tidy with a seating area inside whilst you wait for your train. Plenty of places to go if you are stuck here for a while.
