Until 1986 the service would have continued the short distance to Balloch Pier station via Balloch Central. Balloch Pier station was closed since the connecting steamer service on Loch Lomond had ceased to run in 1981. The line was cut back to Balloch Central, then in 1988 a replacement station - the current Balloch station - was built due South of the central station to avoid having to cross the main road and allow the closure of the level crossing. The original Balloch Central station building is now a Tourist Information Centre.
