A diesel unit train from Glasgow, having terminated at Cumbernauld station, enters the turnback siding east of the station to stand clear of the main line. In due course, when the driver has changed ends, it will come out and use the crossover between the main lines to reach the station's westbound platform and return to Glasgow with another load of passengers. Today, instead of terminating at Cumbernauld, most trains continue along the main line towards Falkirk.
