TheCaledonian and Dumbartonshire [sic] Junction Railway (C&DJR) was opened in 1850,[4] and Dalreoch railway station opened on 15 July 1850.[5] The station became a junction with the opening of theGlasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway (GD&HR) on 28 May 1858. The tunnel at the west end of the station, on the route to Helensburgh, was doubled in 1896 at a cost of £400,000 - the last section of the line to be doubled.[6]
The line was electrified in 1960.[6] Services on theLanarkshire & Dumbartonshire Railway route toPossil viaDalmuir Riverside ended in October 1964 when it fell victim to theBeeching Axe.[citation needed]
The station is equipped with a ticket office on platform 2, the latter adjacent to the car park and bike racks. Both platforms have benches, help points and shelters. The platforms are linked by a footbridge, so only platform 2 has step-free access.[7]
