History


It was opened in July 1850 by the Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway on their line from Bowling (on the north bank of the River Clyde) to Balloch Central.[3] Through running to Glasgow didn't commence until 1858, when the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway was opened; prior to this travellers had to transfer to steamships at Bowling to continue their journey southwards. The line through the station used to be double, but was reduced to single track around 1986.[citation needed]

The station buildings have now been taken over by Strathleven Artizans to become part of one of many taking part in ScotRail's Adopt a Station. The official opening was on 27 March 2010. A heritage centre has been created in a tribute to Robert the Bruce.[4]

The station only has very basic facilities, being a help point, a bench and some bike racks. The ticket office is no longer in use, so - given there are no facilities to purchase tickets - passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train. The station has step-free access.[5]
