Larbert railway station is a railway station serving Larbert near Falkirk, Scotland. It is located on the Edinburgh to Dunblane and Croy Lines. The station comprises two platforms - one serving northbound services via Stirling, and southbound services via Edinburgh and Glasgow - linked by a covered walkway. Refuge loops, on the line, exist immediately to the north of the station - which today are mainly used by freight services, to allow for the passage of passenger services.
The station was modernised in the late 1970s with the two major platforms extended in 2004 along with additional security and information signage. With the growth in population of Larbert, the numbers of commuters and passengers using the station has risen in recent years. In common with almost all other stations in Scotland, Larbert Station is operated by First ScotRail who also provide the train services.
