Dalmuir railway station is a railway station serving the Dalmuir area of Clydebank, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland. It is a large, five platform interchange between the Argyle Line, North Clyde Line and West Highland Line.
The station is very close to the Dalmuir drop lock on the Forth and Clyde Canal.
The station here is located on the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway and opened with the line in May 1858. A new station was completed in 1897 by the North British Railway when they extended the Glasgow, Yoker and Clydebank Railway there from Clydebank - the new line met the older one via Drumchapel immediately west of the original platforms at Dalmuir Park Junction after passing beneath the former GD&HR line a few yards to the east. The station was known as Dalmuir Park between 1952 and 1973
There are four through platforms, two on the Yoker branch & two on the Singer branch along with a terminal bay platform from the Yoker branch constructed as part of the Argyle Line improvement works in 1979 under British Rail. Trains terminating from the Singer branch reverse in a turnback siding to the west of the station just past the junction. The two inner platforms link up at the north end of the station, where there were formerly two footbridges - one spanning each pair of lines. However these were dismantled in 2010 after being replaced by a new, fully disability-accessible bridge fitted with three lifts that links all five platforms. The other station buildings are Portakabin-type structures erected in the early 1980s to replace the original stone ones.
