Since these were discontinued,most of the intermediate stations have had only a very sparse ("parliamentary") service,provided so as to avoid the difficulty of formal closure procedures. As of May 2023,there is a total of three trains per day :southbound,there is an 06:15 to Dundee and an 07:51 to Glasgow Queen Street,whilst northbound there is an 18:14 to Arbroath.
