Overview

The normal platform usage in this station is as follows:

• Platform 0, seldom used, we understand it serves about three trains per day during peak times;
• Platform 1 serves trains to Edinburgh Waverley, Brunstane and Newcraighall;
• Platform 2 serves the Fife Circle, plus trains to Aberdeen and Inverness via Kirkcaldy;
• Platform 3 serves Edinburgh Waverley and stations to North Berwick;
• Platform 4 serves trains to Bathgate, Dunblane, Inverness via Stirling plus Glasgow Central and Queen Street.

There is stairs-only access from the ticket office to each platform, though there is a step-free route via the car park to platforms 0 - 1. The doors at this entrance are remotely operated by staff, so we suggest you seek assistance from staff in the ticket office. Details of this route were not available to us at the time of our survey owing to the building work in progress.

There is tactile paving along the edge of platforms 0 - 1, but not on the other platforms.

At the time of our survey, the rear of the westbound trains was beside the foot of the steps from the bridge, so we suggest you needn't attempt to go behind the steps on reaching the platform.

To the Platforms

From the forecourt, go into the ticket office via either entrance. The ticket sales windows are on the right-hand wall and the gate line is to your left.

As you face the gate line, there's a manual gate at the left-hand end and the automatic entrances are to your right of this. Go through the gates.

Take the first turning right and go down two flights of steps to platform level. Platform 1 is to your left, we believe you're beside the rear of the train. Continue forward, past the building in the middle of the island platform. Platform 0 is then on your right.
