Castle Semple railway station was intended to be a railway station that would have served the village of Howwood, Renfrewshire, Scotland as part of the Dalry and North Johnstone Line on the Glasgow and South Western Railway.

History[]

This station never opened.^[1] The proposed location of the station was a short distance north east of Castle Semple Loch, where a widening on the former railway line is still visible. A platform did exist here, used by the workers of the nearby Castle Semple Estate.^[1] Had the station opened to the general public, it would likely have been called Howwood or St Bryde's (after nearby St Bryde's House and burn).^[1] The trackbed is now part of National Cycle Route 7.
