PLATFORM 2, WESTBOUND |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
This is a separate platform along the south side of the station, serving trains to Glasgow Queen Street, Stirling and Dunblane.
There’s tactile paving along the edge. This is a mainly open platform. The surface is Tarmac with railings along the right-hand (south) side. Initially, a concrete strip runs beside the railings, giving way to gravel after a few metres, up to the bridge. This gravel is not resumed east of the entrance/exit to the platform.
There are RNIB react beacons near each end of the platform and beside the foot of the steps from the bridge. There's another beacon just east of the help point on the east side of the shelter.
