Invergowrie railway station is an unstaffed halt which serves the village of Invergowrie west of the city of Dundee, Scotland on the north bank of the Firth of Tay.

It was built by the Dundee and Perth Railway, a constituent company of the Scottish Central Railway and later the Caledonian Railway and opened in 1848. It has been threatened with closure on several occasions since the 1950s, narrowly avoiding the Beeching Axe and being reprieved again by British Rail in 1985 (unlike neighbouring Errol, which closed in September that year).

Services (2016)

Only a certain number of trains are booked to call here (currently 13) on the line from Glasgow Queen Street to Dundee. These are mostly limited to the morning & evening business peaks.

There is no Sunday service.

Transport Scotland announced in March 2016 that Invergowrie would be one of several stations to benefit from a timetable upgrade that will see 200 additional services introduced across the Scotrail network from 2018. The existing irregular Glasgow - Dundee regional service that calls here will be increased to run hourly through the day.
