Rail was not seen as the future at the time New Towns were planned
and as a result their stations are not always conveniently placed.
Cumbernauld station, seen here in August 2010, is on the south-eastern edge of the sprawling town and that taxi rank and bus stop are essential. It was (and is) 2 miles from the original Cumbernauld village - so it's perhaps surprising that it ever had a station in the first place.
