£5 million was spent upgrading the Forth Valley's largest train station over the last 12 months.
Work began upgrading the station in July 2022, and lasted just shy of a year.
Improvements include a complete re-design of the public realm outside the station, creating a pedestrianised plaza that delivers improved access for people walking, wheeling, and cycling.
It also see's the removal of the roundabout on Goosecroft Road, replaced with a new entrance to the south car park along A9 Burghmuir Road.
A key feature of the project is the creation of a secure CyclePoint, offering more than 140 additional cycle parking spaces and increasing the total number of cycle spaces at the station to more than 200.
Fiona Hyslop MSP, Minister for Transport, said:
“I’m delighted to open the £5million redevelopment of Stirling Railway station. This has been a real partnership success in placing walking, wheeling, and cycling at the heart of improvements.
“In doing so, we’re making active travel easier than before and encouraging multi-modal sustainable travel both in Stirling and beyond – benefitting health, wellbeing and protecting the environment. This is all part of our record investment in active travel, where the Scottish Government has committed to investing over £320million, or 10 per cent of the transport budget, in walking, wheeling, and cycling by 2024-25.”
Meanwhile Alex Hynes, Managing Director of Scotland's Railway, said:
"The redevelopment of Stirling railway station marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing a sustainable and accessible transport network.
“This project has delivered safe pedestrian and cycle friendly areas, and it also helps promote multimodal train travel as we continue with our commitment to delivering better environments for sustainable transport options.
“The refurbished customer lounges and upgraded facilities, including new CyclePoint and more blue badge parking, will greatly enhance the overall experience of customers using the station.
