Lines serving Dunlop
Dunlop is on the Glasgow, Barrhead and Kilmarnock Line. That page has the whole route, every station on it and how busy each one is.
Freight through Dunlop station, hour by hour
Freight is booked through or alongside Dunlop station on 8 paths in the week beginning 12 October 2026: 1 path on the Wednesday, 1 path on the Saturday and no paths on the Sunday. Every one of them is held in the timetable and used only when there is something to move.
The grid counts the goods trains booked to pass in each hour of the week beginning 12 October 2026: the darker the hour, the more paths, and a dot marks an hour with at least one path that runs regardless. Engineering trains, empty stock and light engines are not counted. Across Britain only about a fifth of booked freight paths run on a given day, so a booked path is a possibility rather than a promise; the freight statistics page explains how that is measured.
