It opened in 1894 and the ticket office was designed to look like a Swiss chalet.

These days it only has one platform, and no ticket office, but if you are very lucky you might see a steam train, maybe even the Hogwarts express!

"The Hogwarts Express" is pictured at Helensburgh Upper Station on October 9 2007, returning south after filming one of the Harry Potter films. The steam locomotive No. 5972 was built as "Olton Hall" for the Great Western Railway in 1928, but for the purpose of filming was renamed "Hogwarts Castle".
There is a long ramp down from Sinclair Street to the platform, making it wheelchair and buggy friendly. The cache itself is slightly off the pavement on grass, which might make it inaccessable to wheelchair users when it is wet underground.
Many thanks to Stewart Noble and Donald Fullarton of Helensburgh Heritage Trust for information and photographs. Further information can be found at www.helensburgh-heritage.co.uk
