Quite a bleak station only good thing is there is free car parking and there is a secure bike park it could do with a coffee takeaway.

Polmont is a great local station for getting to Edinburgh, Glasgow or Stirling easily. There are two trains an hour to each.
This station is manned but has no gates. There is one ticket machine taking cards only.
Plenty of parking available in the station car parks or surrounding streets

While staying in Grangemouth decided not to use the car to visit Edinburgh but go by train. Eventually found a roadside parking in Polmont about a ten minute walk from the station. The platform and office is not huge but clean, tidy and luckily for us a lady, who gave help and advice us on the tickets and times best suited for our requirements. A thirty minute ride brought us to the huge Edinburgh station. We spent a lovely day seeing the sights of this wonderful city and the pleasant journey back.

Was able to park for free very near to the train station. I am glad I went by car as it is well over a mile from the shops in Polmont. We stayed at the Premier inn on Beancross Road in Polmont so was very handy to get to Edinburgh from there.

Dropped off by taxi from our home close by my wife and I were going to Edinburgh for the Fringe an annual event for us. A short stroll to the ticket office and we chose to bypass the machine by the door and deal with a real person behind the glass partition. First tip, always buy your ticket at the office rather than on line as their was a marked difference in it being more expensive via the internet for some reason? We walked along the platform and under the road bridge to the first glass shelter to wait as the speed that some trains go through the station is quite frightening but it's also a dry spot as well. The digital sign keeps us up to date even if you can't always make out the tannoy announcements. This station is used more and more for commuters and the adjoining carpark is now overflowing and side streets become clogged so don't expect you'll get a parking spot until they pull their fingers out and extend the area in the next century?
