Hide AdLarbert had the second highest figures locally with 602,000 entries and exits. Third was Polmont with 521,000, while Falkirk Grahamston finished in fourth with 489,000. Camelon had just 125,000 entries and exits.


The data was revealed as passengers face a hefty hike in travel costs in the new year. Transport Scotland is set to increase train fares by 8.7 per cent, effective from April.
The hike applies to all ScotRail fares. Ministers who signed off the increase said it was needed “to ensure rail services are sustainable in the longer term and that budgets align with the overall funding available.”
The ScotRail peak fares removal pilot will also be extended by three months until June.

"Instead of implementing another record-high increase, the Government should freeze rail fares as it has fuel duty and make green public transport cheaper".
Glasgow Central was the most used station in Scotland according to the latest data.
