The station is located on a road heading north from the A82 west of Glasgow City Centre. The railway crosses the road by a bridge, the station is on the right.
There is a small station car park, failing that you could park on nearby residential roads. This should be safe during the day.
There is a regular train service from both Glasgow Queen Street and Glasgow Central. Ensure you catch a train to Dalmuir, Dumbarton or Helensburgh VIA SINGER. If the first available train is routed via Yoker, catch this to Partick or Hyndland and change. First Bus service 9 operates about every 10 minutes from Glasgow and terminates at the station.
There appears to be few amenities in the immediate area, Drumchapel shops being about a 10 minute walk away.
The light here is best for a morning shot of a train entering the station from the west, heading towards Glasgow, framed by the OHLE gantry. The afternoon would tend to favour shots the other way, but these can be shaded as the line enters a tree-lined cutting.
