History


The station looking south towards Westerton in 1961
The station looking south towards Westerton in 1961

The station opened along with the line to Milngavie in April 1863.[3][4]

The naming is unusual in that the current title of the town (which was originally New Kilpatrick) was taken from the station name, rather than the town giving its name to the station.[5]


Facilities


The station is well equipped, with a ticket office and ticket machine on platform 1, and shelters, benches and help points on both platforms. There is a pub and a car park and bike racks adjacent to platform 1. All of the station has step-free access, but the footbridge only has steps, so passengers needing access to platform 2 must use the ramp from Drymen Road.[6]
