Singer railway station

Singer railway station is a two-platformed staffed station serving Clydebank town centre, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

History


Constructed in 1907, Singer station took its name from the large Singer sewing machine factory that it was built to serve. History of the station within the sewing machine factory is not well-documented. The 'station' inside the factory - and the factory itself - were demolished in or before 1998.

The main station replaced the former Kilbowie station, and soon after opening in 1907, it was renamed to Singer for Kilbowie and Radnor Park, reverting to just Singer some time in May 1948.

Until 2002, Singer was the nearest station to Kilbowie Park, former home of Clydebank F.C. (1965).
