Greenfaulds station serves the Greenfaulds area of Cumbernauld. It is served by both the half-hourly Glasgow Queen St-Cumbernauld/Falkirk Grahamston and the hourly Motherwell-Cumbernauld services. The station is usually pretty quiet, with the only noise being that of kids playing in the primary school next door and the only movement being that of the copious amount of dog walkers using the pedestrian bridge over the station. There is not a station footbridge - passengers must use this bridge just outside of the station to reach the opposite platform. This means it takes a good minute to reach the other side, which could be a problem for anyone rushing to get a train. There is no ticket office here, so tickets must be bought on the train. There is only two simple bus shelter-style waiting rooms, so there isn't exactly much protection from the elements. There is however a large park-and-ride car park, though it is usually quite empty - a good thing, though it shows ScotRail need to do more to promote it. read more

Greenfaulds Railway Station - A view from the footbridge - note the largely empty car park and the long paths down from the bridge to the platform. - Public Transportation Near Me - North Lanarkshire, NLK

This is the most local train station to me, and now I have a car is luckily served by a large car park (plus a smaller annexe one on the 'other' side of the railway). It doesn't have electronic ticket issuing facilities, and neither is it staffed so you'll need to buy your ticket onboard. Serves into Glasgow City Centre - and out to Motherwall or Falkirk should you have need. Electrified lines so the trains aren't the nicest, but they run every half hour or so, so I can't complain too much. As far as train stations go, it's fairly decent. read more
