Wemyss Bay Station

The station at Wemyss Bay is one of the finest in Britain. Rebuilt between 1903 and 1904 for Caledonian Railway and designed by James Miller and Donald Mathieson. The new station was expressly designed to facilitate transfer of passengers from train to steamer dry; the station, circulating area and walkway to the pier and heavily canopied.

While much of what was built during this period has gone Wemyss Bay station and Glasgow Central remain.

An ambitious restoration programme was completed on the eve of the British Rail/Railtrack split in March 1994 and it won a Brunel Award.
