[9] The station was the last in Scotland to be lit by gas lights, these not being replaced by electric versions until the early 1980s.

[citation needed] Although the trackbed has been raised following reballasting over the years, the platforms have not had similar treatment and are all considerably sub-standard in height.

The station has a small car park (and some bike racks), which gives step-free access to platform 1, which has a bench and a waiting shelter.

[11] When no crossing is to be made, northbound trains are usually routed through platform 1 which is signalled for bi-directional running.

As of May 2022, there are ten departures northbound to Inverness and eleven to Perth each weekday, with six trains going to Glasgow Queen Street and five to Edinburgh Waverley, including the Caledonian Sleeper service.
