History
At one time this station had five platforms: Two as an island platform on the West Highland Line - sometimes called Craigendoran Upper (now closed and singled), one on Craigendoran Pier serving Clyde Steamers (closed and lifted) and two on the line to Helensburgh (one closed when the line was singled). All bar the West Highland Line platforms are/were electrified.
The track layout at Craigendoran Junction was simplified in 1984. The present layout consists of a loop (available to West Highland Line trains only) and single lines to Helensburgh Upper and Helensburgh Central.
