The station is well sign posted from both the A6 and A7 which enter the city from the south and north respectively.

There are a number of both short and long stay car parks around the station.

DR
There is a Big Car park down on the Southbound side of the WCML in Viaduct Street. This car park is free after 18:00. If you put any money into the machine it will not give it back to you or issue you with a ticket.

Lots of train services from stations across England and southern Scotland.

The station has two toilets, a pub, cafe, WH Smith and coffee stand. Close by the station there are a number of pubs and takeaways.

North West Gen

The best place to photo moving trains is the south end of the station. At the north end, the line is crossed by a bridge which gets in the way a bit of photos taken facing north.
Photos can be taken within the train shed - I find early mornings give a nice light. On the west side of the station, next to the stabling lines, there is a high wall, which tends to block off light the early evening. I find though that you can get good shots at any time of day, as it is quite easy to move around the station and take photos from different angles.
