I could be wrong, but I am surprised to find trains to Haymarket running out of Stirling BUS station.

Is there a rail platform now installed there ?

That point I do not doubt, but the last time that I visited Stirling, it took me about four minutes to walk from the railway station to the bus station, where I then caught an onward bus service.

The point that I was making was that the posting that I queried seemed to give the impression that a train had departed from the bus station, as that is where the posting prior to that had arrived at.

In this instance I had merely forgotten to say we were transferring over to a railway station. However, it was obvious that this was the case and there have been many cases where other players have switched transport modes without saying and yet there have been no questions....

On every single occasion, otherwise, I ALWAYS state
