Notes Passenger statistics from theOffice of Rail and Road

Balmossie railway station is a small railway station at the border betweenDundee andAngus which serves the east ofBroughty Ferry and the west ofMonifieth. It is located 5 miles (8 kilometres) from the formerDundee East station, on theDundee to Aberdeen line, betweenBroughty Ferry andMonifieth.^[4]ScotRail, who manage the station, operate all services.

The station was originally opened on 18 June 1962 asBalmossie Halt byBritish Rail Scottish Region^[3] and renamed as Balmossie on 16 May 1983.^[3][5]

Facilities are very basic, comprising a bench on platform 2, and a shelter on platform 1. There is step-free access to both platforms, including via a ramped footbridge. There are no help points, which could be considered negligent for accessibility standards.^[6][7] As there are no facilities to purchase tickets, passengers must buy one in advance, or from the guard on the train.

The statistics cover twelve month periods that start in April.

British Rail operated local passenger services between Dundee and Arbroath until May 1990. Since these were discontinued, most of the intermediate stations have had only a very sparse"parliamentary" service, provided so as to avoid the difficulty of formal closure procedures.^{[9][better source needed]}

ScotRail provides Balmossie with only two trains a day in each direction, Mondays to Saturdays. The southbound services depart at 06:25 (to Dundee) and 08:01 (to Glasgow). The northbound services depart at 18:04 and 18:41, both to Arbroath. There is no Sunday service.^[10] As a result of the infrequent services and low population in the area, patronage of the station is low.
