Craigendoran railway station is a railway station serving Craigendoran, east of Helensburgh, Scotland.
[edit] Services
The station is managed by First ScotRail and is served by trains on the North Clyde Line. West Highland Line trains no longer call at Craigendoran following the closure of the upper platforms.
[edit] History
At one time this station had six platforms: Two as an island platform on the West Highland Line - sometimes called Craigendoran Upper (now closed and singled), two 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.
[edit] Signalling
A new signal box 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.
