Craigendoran railway station (Scottish Gaelic :Creag an Dòbhrain) is a railway station serving Craigendoran,east of Helensburgh,Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail,which operates all services at the station. It is located on the North Clyde Line between Helensburgh Central and Cardross,23 miles 18 chains (37.4 km) west of Glasgow Queen Street (High Level),measured via Singer and Maryhill. [3] West Highland Line trains used to call here but no longer do following the closure of the upper platforms.
Originally opened by the North British Railway on 15 May 1882,at one time the station had five platforms:two as an island platform on the West Highland Line - sometimes called Craigendoran Upper (opened in 1894 and closed in 1964,subsequently demolished),one on Craigendoran Pier serving Clyde Steamers (closed in 1972 and lifted) and two on the line to Helensburgh (one closed when the line was singled). [4] [5] All five platforms,bar those for the West Highland Line,were electrified. There were once goods sidings located in here,built in the 1940s,but these were removed in 1964 with the end of regular local freight workings. [6]
The track layout at Craigendoran Junction was simplified in 1984 under the auspices of British Rail,singling the line to Helensburgh Central. [7] The present layout at the junction,just east of the station,consists of a loop (available to West Highland Line trains only) and single lines to Helensburgh Upper and Helensburgh Central. The line south of here towards Dumbarton Central remains double track.
The station is equipped with a shelter (which is accessed by some steps),a bench and bike racks,as well as a car park,accessed over the footbridge. The only step-free access to the station is from Dennistoun Crescent. [8] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets,passengers must buy one in advance,or from the guard on the train.
