Dalmuir (1st station - 1858 to 1897)

The original station was about 300m east of the current one, directly opposite the north-south section of Park View. There looks to be an access point at the site, but I am not sure about that.

Was it not the case that the Glasgow, Yoker and Clydebank Railway built the station you referred to above. The station of Dalmuir on the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway (the line we are currently traversing) is still a currently open station.

The original station was built in 1858 by the Glasgow, Dumbarton and Helensburgh Railway (later becoming part of the North British). When the NBR extended the Glasgow, Yoker and Clydebank Railway to Dalmuir in the late 1890s they built a new station just to the west of the junction with the original G,D&H line (Dalmuir Park Junction) and about 300m west of the original station site. So far as I know there was never a separate G,Y&CR station station at Dalmuir.
