History
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
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]
