History

The station opened on 2 July 1888. It was located on the corner of Kingston Road and Station Road and was a three-storey building. The station was demolished after the railway was closed and is now used as car repair workshop. The station replaced Kilsyth Old Station when the Kelvin Valley Railway which it was the terminus was extended with the Kilsyth and Bonnybridge Line, therefore rendering it almost useless. The station closed on 1 February 1935.[1] The site is now a garage.[2]
