History
It was opened in July 1850 by the Caledonian and Dumbartonshire Junction Railway on its line from Template:Rws (on the north bank of the River Clyde) to Template:Rws. Through running to Glasgow did not commence until 1858, when the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway was opened; before 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.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The station buildings have now been taken over by Strathleven Artizans to become 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.[2]
Facilities
The station has only very basic facilities, being a help point, a bench and some bicycle 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 ticket examiner on the train. The station has step-free access.[3]
