Craigendoran (West Highland) and Craigendoran (North British) stations are recorded, and are contiguous. The former (which apparently formed the ferry terminal) was opened by the West Highland Rly on 7 August 1894 and closed to regular passenger traffic on 14 June 1964. The latter was opened as an intermediate station on the Glasgow - Helensburgh line (later incorporated into the 'West Highland' line) on 15 May 1882, and remains in regular passenger use.
