Members of the Rail Maritime and Transport union (RMT) based in Stirling will walk out from 6am next Thursday and on Wednesday, 9 May.
A Network Rail spokesman said the company was confident it could run a full service despite the strikes.

RMT general secretary Bob Crow said: “Network Rail still refuse to take this issue seriously so we have no option but to move to strike action.”
“Although management have so far refused to budge they cannot ignore the strength of feeling demonstrated.”
