The station is located to the north of the point where St Mary's Street (northeast/southwest) crosses the track.
Immediately southwest of this rail bridge is a junction from which Station Road runs north, along the west side of the station, whilst Academy Street continues southwest towards the town centre. Loreburn Street leaves the junction, going northwest past the station leaving a triangular forecourt outside the main entrance, Lovers Walk runs west from the station to complete this triangle. We'll call this the main forecourt. This forecourt contains some short stay parking, the taxi rank and bus stop.
A roundabout junction, northeast of the rail bridge includes Huntingdon Street, which runs north along the east side of the station. Lockerbie Road continues east whilst Cornwall Mount leads south from this junction. Huntingdon Street leads to a small car park outside the building on platform 2. We'll call this area the east forecourt.
There are two groups of step-free entrances/exits to this station, one group onto each platform.
The main entrance is via either of two push doors leading east from the main forecourt into the ticket office. The door to platform 1, northbound is on the opposite side of this space. Note that you can go directly onto platform 1 via a path to the south of the building and via the car park beside the platform.
Note that the two doors to the ticket office plus the door onto the platform are to be upgraded to push button automatic.
The entrance from the east forecourt leads west into a short passage along the south side of the waiting room. The door to platform 2 is at the far end of this passage. Alternatively, you can go directly onto platform 2 via a path to either side of this building.
This is a single-stage crossing with tactile paving. The posts with push button and rotating cone are northwest of the crossing, that is to your right as you cross away from the station or to your left as you cross towards it.
This crossing is at the southwest end of the road bridge. This is a single-stage crossing with tactile paving. The post, with push button and rotating cone is to your right as you cross in either direction.
