Since May 2014, the newly electrified track between Springburn and Cumbernauld has become an extension of the North Clyde network.

Following electrification between June 2013 and May 2014,[1] Cumbernauld services became an extension of the North Clyde Line's Springburn Branch.

Plans for the station were abandoned in favour of an alternative park and ride facility at Bannockburn, according to Scottish Parliament written answers for 23 August 2007.

With the cancellation of the Garngad Chord in November 2011, the potential to remove the timely reversing procedure at Springburn is still an option.

This is an idea put forward by Network Rail to improve freight access and is supported by Falkirk Council, who are currently undertaking a feasibility study into the project's potential.
