Everything about Craigendoran Railway Station totally explained
Craigendoran railway station is a
railway station serving
Craigendoran, east of
Helensburgh,
Scotland.
The station is managed by
First ScotRail and is served by trains on the
North Clyde Line 37 km (23 miles) west of
Glasgow Queen Street.
West Highland Line trains no longer call at Craigendoran following the closure of the upper platforms.
History
At one time this station had five platforms: Two as an
island platform on the
West Highland Line - sometimes called Craigendoran Upper (now closed and singled), one on Craigendoran Pier serving Clyde Steamers (closed and lifted) and two on the line to Helensburgh (one closed when the line was singled). All bar the
West Highland Line platforms are/were electrified.
The track layout at Craigendoran Junction was simplified in
1984. The present layout consists of a loop (available to
West Highland Line trains only) and single lines to
Helensburgh Upper and
Helensburgh Central.
Until 1937, Craigendoran had three
signal boxes: Craigendoran East, Craigendoran Junction and Craigendoran West. The West box closed on
2 May 1937. On
28 March 1960, the East box closed and the remaining 'Craigendoran Junction' box was renamed 'Craigendoran'.
A replacement signal box, with an NX control panel, was opened on
4 November 1984. That signal box was itself closed in
1992, with control passing to Yoker Signalling Centre (
IECC), which controls the whole
North Clyde Line.
Services
There is a daily half-hourly service eastbound towards Glasgow Queen St (and beyond) and westbound to
Helensburgh Central
