The station opened on 1 September 1913. The station has a cross platform bridge with lift access which began production in June 2017, [5] and became operational in 2018. [6]
Prior to 19 September 2014,Westerton was also served by the overnight Caledonian Sleeper service between Fort William and London Euston,to allow Glasgow-bound passengers to change onto a connecting service,as the sleeper used a route avoiding the city centre. From 21 September 2014 the sleeper service was re-routed to call instead at Queen Street Low Level and so the stop was removed from the timetable. [7]
The station has a ticket office and ticket machine on platform 1,as well as an accessible toilet and waiting room. There is a shelter on platform 2,and benches and help points on both platforms. The car park and bike racks are adjacent to platform 1. [8]
