Background

History

unit seen at the station in 1981]] The station was opened on 31 May 1858 (as Helensburgh), as the terminus of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway. The GD&HR was taken over by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway company in 1862, which in turn was absorbed by the North British Railway three years later. It was given its current name on 8 June 1953, with electric operation beginning in November 1960 as part of the North Clyde modernisation scheme. The entire station building and platforms were rebuilt in 1897 to the design of James Carswell.
