Dykebar railway station

The station was converted to a two-room and kitchen house[1] before being dismantled by vandals in the late 1960s.

The line through Dykebar from Blackbyres to Paisley East goods closed on 31 December 1960.

[2] Railway photographer Norris Forrest visited the area in February 1960 taking pictures of the station platform, a passenger shelter and a train.

[7] Other railway artifacts can be seen on the satellite image in the adjoining field including a bridge which would have taken trains into Hawkhead Hospital.

The Norris Forrest photographs are the copyright of the Great North of Scotland Railway Association.

The remains of a bridge can still be seen at the pedestrian crossing at that location (next to the entrance of Dobbie's Garden Centre).
