The station also had a railway hotel, the Star and Garter, which was involved in a devastating fire in October 2010.

[5] The building is Category C listed by Historic Scotland due to it being one of the only two surviving stations (with Croy) of the original Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway.

[3] The station is served by trains on the main Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk High main line, and the Edinburgh - Stirling - Dunblane route, with half-hourly calls each way on all routes daily (trains run hourly beyond Stirling to Dunblane on Sundays).

A limited number of Sunday services start or terminate at Perth, running via Stirling and Gleneagles.

[6] As part of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme, the line through the station has been electrified and the platforms extended.
