During the first half of the twentieth century Clydebank was well supplied with railway stations, three bearing the town's name and two others at Kilbowie being within 1000 yards of the town centre. The one shown here was opened in October 1896 by the Caledoniain Railway and further distinguished from the other two Clydebank (North British Railway) stations the following year by the addition of the suffix "Riverside". It closed in October 1964 but the building was not demolished and has been incorporated with sensitivity into a housing scheme called Cunard Court. The platform side was to the left, where the track was curving sharply round to the north to pass under the NBR line before climbing and passing over and to the south of the NBR again a mile or so to the west. The frontage to the right, alongside the road, incorporated flats for the station staff and, distinguished by having balcony with a large "CR" monogram, a house at the end for the station master.
