Balloch railway station
Balloch railway station is a railway station serving the town of Balloch in Scotland. The station is a western terminus of the North Clyde Line, sited 20 miles 38 chains (33.0 km) northwest of Glasgow Queen Street, measured via Singer and Maryhill.[page needed]
Although the line through the station was opened in July 1850, the current Balloch station was opened by British Rail and SPTE on 24 April 1988, replacing the former Balloch Central station which was situated immediately north of a level crossing on Balloch Road. Closure of this level crossing was made possible by the closure of the previous terminus station, Balloch Pier, in 1986. The station is located 1⁄2 mile (800 m) south of where Balloch Pier station stood. This relocation allowed the level crossing to be removed.
In 2023, it was announced that Balloch would receive a brand new park & ride facility, at a cost of £50,000.
It lies within the boundary, by just over 150 metres (160 yd), of the Loch Lomond & Trossachs National Park and provides one of few examples of an overhead electrified railway operating within a UK national park.[citation needed]
The station has a ticket office, an accessible toilet, a shelter, seats, a help point and bike racks. The station has a stepped entrance from Tullichewan Road, and three step-free entrances from Balloch Road, Lomond Road and Balloch Road. All of the station is step-free.
The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.
The typical off-peak service in trains per hour Mondays to Saturdays is:
