The Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway station building has been demolished and replaced with a modern, glass and steel building designed by IDP Architects[3] similar in design to that at Bishopbriggs.
The station has park-and-ride facilities, with spaces for over 900 vehicles, including charging points for electrical vehicles. There are bus connections to Kilsyth and Cumbernauld. The lines through the station have been electrified as part of the Edinburgh to Glasgow Improvement Programme. Platform lengthening work has been carried out as part of this scheme. The station has cycle parking.
In November 2021, work began to install an accessible footbridge enabling step-free access to both platforms.[4] This was completed and opened to the public in October 2022.
