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 miles 20 chains (11.7 km) from Glasgow Queen Street (High Level), measured via Maryhill.^[4]

History

The station opened on 1 May 1890^[3] or in 1891,^[5] although there had been a railway line through the town since 1858.^[6] Accordingly the opening of the station allowed for significant housing developments on either side of the line.^[7]

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.^[8] There is also a bus stop for the number 3 (formerly along with the number 16) operated by First Glasgow with services to Govan.^[9]
