Description

This station is the main station in Dundee.

It is an island platform station with two bay platforms at the west end located in a deep dressed stone cutting. The station is currently (late 2017) undergoing a major facelift.

The station was opened with the Tay Bridge [1st] by the North British Railway. To its north was the Caledonian Railway's competing Dundee West terminus which predated it. The newer station connected together the west and east sides of the city with a passenger carrying main line, before it opened the terminus stations at Dundee West and Dundee East were connected by a street railway only carrying goods.
