}}Balloch Central railway station was the main railway station serving the town of Balloch in Scotland. It was opened on 15 July 1850[1] by the Caledonian and Dunbartonshire Junction Railway.[2]

Operations

For most of its passenger services, it was the terminal station. A few services, connecting with the steamer services to Tarbet and Inversnaid, continued to {{stnlnk|Balloch Pier}}.[2] This pattern of service continued after electrification of the line in the 1960s. Between 1856 and 1934, it was served also by trains to/from Stirling over the Forth and Clyde Junction Railway. The main line from just north of Dalreoch Junction was singled in 1986 and thereafter all trains used the former southbound platform up until closure.[3]

Closure

The station was closed on 23 April 1988 and was replaced by {{stnlnk|Balloch}} station, situated immediately south of the level crossing.[1][4] This relocation allowed the level crossing to be closed.[5]

Today the station building has been converted into the Tourist Information Centre. A section of platform survives behind the building.
