From the Wikipedia article
Balloch Pier railway station was a railway station serving the southern end of Loch Lomond on the northern edge of Balloch, Scotland. In 1960 the North Clyde Line was electrified, with Balloch Pier being electrified at 25 kV 50 Hz AC, using the Class 303 'Blue Train' EMU stock. It was closed on 28 September 1986 as a result of the 1984 Strathclyde Rail Review. The steamer service on Loch Lomond provided by the PS Maid of the Loch had ceased in 1981. Rail services had been provided to connect with sailings. Following closure the station was demolished and there is now a car park on the site.
