The Caledonian and Dumbartonshire [sic] Junction Railway (C&DJR) was opened in 1850,[1] and Dalreoch railway station opened on 15 July 1850.[2] The station became a junction with the opening of the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway (GD&HR) on 28 May 1858.
Although the GD&HR, after successive amalgamations, became part of the North British Railway (NBR) and so part of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) at the 1923 Grouping, the C&DJR was purchased jointly by the NBR, the Caledonian Railway and the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire [sic] Railway (L&DR). Renamed the Dumbarton and Balloch Railway, it remained a joint line at the 1923 Grouping, but its owners were now the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) and the LNER.[1]
Due to the severe weather condition during Christmas and New Year period, damaged platform tactiles had to be temporarily removed for safety reasons. Network Rail plans to re-install them in future.
From Dalreoch daily four trains per hour head eastbound towards Glasgow Queen Street and westbound there is a half-hourly service to both Balloch and Helensburgh Central respectively.
