On Sundays, there is a half-hourly service to Glasgow Queen Street served by trains on the North Clyde Line (Helensburgh Central-Drumgelloch).

[edit] History

Singer station took its name from the huge Singer sewing machine factory that it was built to serve. The station is located on a section of track that was realigned to make space for the factory. In addition to the two through platforms in use today, the station once boasted six bay platforms for the many workers' trains that ran there. The bay platforms, and indeed the factory, have long since gone.
