Yoker railway station is an unstaffed station which serves the district of Yoker in Scotland. The station is in Clydebank in West Dunbartonshire but it is very near the boundary with Glasgow.
Contents
Access can be gained from either side of the station, or onto the footbridge that is directly connected to the overpass.
The station is served by Abellio ScotRail as part of the SPT network. It is located on the Argyle Line and the North Clyde Line.
It is the nearest railway station to the Renfrew Ferry on the north side of the River Clyde.
The large Yoker Traction Maintenance Depot, which looks after the EMU fleet used on North Clyde suburban services, is located a short distance to the East (between here and Garscadden). Yoker IECC is also nearby - this has controlled the signalling on the entire North Clyde network since established by British Rail in 1989.

Services
There is a basic weekdays & Saturday daytime service of 4tph (every 15 minutes) in each direction, northbound to Dalmuir via Clydebank (two of which continue to Dumbarton Central) and southbound to Partick. From here alternate services run via Queen Street Low Level to Cumbernauld via Springburn and via Central Low Level to Whifflet via Rutherglen (2tph to each route - one Whifflet train continues to Motherwell). Services towards Dalmuir from the Argyle line, however, are from Cumbernauld (hourly) or Motherwell (both trains per hour) via Hamilton.
With the most recent timetable change in December 2014, the Yoker line now receives 4tph all day on Mondays-Saturdays (previously the evening Argyle line services were cut back to Partick). The Sunday service runs between Balloch & alternately Motherwell via Whifflet and Larkhall.
