John Menzies Bookstall - Stirling
Something to read on the train? A traveller peruses the books for sale from the John Menzies bookstall on platform 2 at Stirling station. What will it be? The latest thriller, a romantic novel or something more serious?
A notice on the platform lets those passengers who arrived at Stirling on the overnight Motorail train know that they can collect their car keys on platform 10. Stirling once had an extensive Motorail service which enabled passengers to travel with their cars to places like London, Newton Abbot and Dover. However British Rail announced in February 1989 that it would no longer run Motorail services from Stirling.
