The railway station is managed by ScotRail and is served by trains on the Argyle Line and North Clyde Line. It is situated between Singer to the west and Drumchapel to the east, 8 miles 10 chains (13.1 km) from Glasgow Queen Street, measured via Maryhill. [4]
History
[edit]Drumry station was opened on 6 April 1953 to serve two of the new housing schemes that were built post World War II on the northern edges of the Burgh of Clydebank,[5][3] nearly a century after the opening of the line itself through the town.[6]
Facilities
[edit]The station has a small car park and has cycle stands. It also has a staffed ticket office and a ticket machine, with help points, shelters and benches.[7][8]
Work to replace the platform surfaces by Network Rail was carried out between January and June 2022.[9][10]
