[edit] History
Balloch station opened on 24 April 1988, replacing the former Balloch Central station which was situated immediately north of a level crossing.[1][2] Closure of this level crossing was made possible by the closure of the previous terminus station - Balloch Pier - half a mile to the north (1986), and the new Balloch station being located south thereof.[3]
