History

The station was built in 1896 as 15 Mile Siding, and was known as Falkirk between 1897 and 1899. The present building was built to incorporate the older style of the original station, which is still standing today.[1] The longest serving Stationmaster was F. R. H. Coombs (father of H. C. Coombs), from July 1925 until March 1943.[2]
