Drumchapel railway station

Drumchapel railway station serves the Drumchapel, Blairdardie and Old Drumchapel areas of Glasgow, Scotland. The station is managed by ScotRail and is served by trains on the Argyle Line and North Clyde Line. It is situated between Westerton to the east and Drumry to the west, and is located 7 mi from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level), measured via Maryhill.

History
The station opened on 1 May 1890 or in 1891, although there had been a railway line through the town since 1858. Accordingly the opening of the station allowed for significant housing developments on either side of the line.

Facilities
The station has a small car park, with a staffed ticket office and a ticket machine. Both platforms have help points, shelters and benches, with bike racks adjacent to the car park. There is also a bus stop for the number 3 (formerly along with the number 16) operated by First Glasgow with services to Govan.

Passenger volume
The statistics cover twelve-month periods that start in April.

Services
On Mondays-Saturdays, trains between Balloch and Airdrie stop each way every 30 minutes. In addition to these North Clyde Line services, there are two Argyle Line trains per hour between Dalmuir and Larkhall. On Sundays, there is a half-hourly service to Edinburgh via Airdrie and to Helensburgh Central.
