Background
History
The original station, built by the Scottish Central Railway, was situated to the north of the A9 road and opened on 22 May 1848. The station was closed on 1 November 1965. The small station yard on the east (southbound) side of the line, long disused, has been used for new residential accommodation, and the old station house also remains in residential use. The new station, immediately to the south of the A9, was opened on 13 May 1985. This has allowed better facilities for car parking to be provided. Reopening by British Rail followed an increase in population and employment in the area, partly due to the relatively new University of Stirling situated to the east of Bridge of Allan.
