In the 1970s the Greater Glasgow Passenger Transport Executive (later renamed Strathclyde P.T.E.) and British Railways set about modernising many of the stations in the Glasgow suburbs and surrounding towns, replacing earlier Victorian buildings with the basic but functional style framed here by the station footbridge. A rectilinear brick or stone-faced box contained staff facilities, booking office and waiting room and the flat roof was extended over the platform as a sheltering canopy. Behind the station building is a remnant of Clydebank's earlier shopping centre, the former Co-operative Society building. The present-day shopping mall, Sylvania Way, is invisible here but stretches away north to and across the canal to the left of the old Co-op.
