Further Notes
ACD - Mon 04/11/1907 - RPSGB. No Sunday service, LTR - Sat 02/11/1907.
Line replaced by deviation via Singer.
DRS & The North British Railway Vol.2 D&C p211 give ACD and date deviation opened as Sun 03/11/1907. CPLGB p59 gives "10-11/1907".
RPSGB under Kilbowie [NB] entry gives ACD as Mon 04/11/1907. Under entry for Singer "... new passenger station would open 3 November 1907 but this was a Sunday and is [it] likely that a station mainly for workers would have had a service then? Brad April 1910, nearest to hand at present, does not even show a Sunday service for the line. Thus first trains would have used it on 4th." Indeed, B900 Jul 1908 798 also confirms no Sunday service was in operation, so I am inclined to agree with Quick.
