Background
History
The station was opened in April 1863, and was then part of the Glasgow and Milngavie Junction Railway. Originally built with three platforms, one platform has since been removed. The land where the third platform once stood is now used as a footpath and car park. The line was doubled in 1900, but was singled again in 1990. In December 2020, the platforms were extended at a cost of £5 million. The platform extension allows multiple trains to be stabled at the station, increasing the time available between arrivals and departures.
