It is sited between Milngavie and Bearsden, 7 miles 66 chains (12.6 km) from Glasgow Queen Street, measured via Maryhill.[3]
History
It was opened on 1 May 1900, after the Milngavie branch was double tracked.[4][5]
Facilities
The station has a small car park but no ticket office or ticket machine. As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train. Both platforms have shelters, help points and benches, and there are bike racks adjacent to platform 1. Both platforms have step-free entrances, but the footbridge only has steps.[6]
