Inverclyde Line

Welcome to scot-rail.co.uk, Scotland's online railway community. The group is for any rail enthusiast interested in the railways and trains of Scotland. It not only consists of the wiki that you're reading now, but a busy online forum and mailing list, which was accessible to registered users. From April 2024 the forum has closed, with a replacement started on Groups.io.
The Inverclyde Line connects Glasgow to Port Glasgow, Wemyss Bay and Gourock.

Route


Starting from Glasgow Central the line shares its tracks with the Ayrshire Coast Line but only as far as Paisley Gilmour Street where the lines use different platfroms and the Inverclyde line swings Northwards to serve Port Glasgow, this is where the lines split, one line continues through to Gourock to connect with ferries while the other goes down to Wemyss Bay.

Current operating practices see 4 trains per hour serving Gourock and 1 train per hour serving Wemyss Bay.

Currently the line is ran by a combination of 380s, 318s and 320s with 314s being retired from the line in 2019.
