Renfrew Bridge
The Renfrew Bridge is a road and pedestrian bridge spanning the River Clyde in West Dunbartonshire and Renfrewshire, built as part of the ongoing Clyde Waterfront Regeneration. Opened to the public on 9 May 2025, it is the first new vehicle crossing point on the Clyde since the Govan-Partick bridge was built in 2024.

Yoker
Yoker (Scottish Gaelic: An Eochair) is an area of Glasgow, Scotland, located on the northern bank of the Clyde east of Clydebank, 5 miles (8 kilometres) west of the city centre. The name is an Anglicisation of the Scottish Gaelic Eochair meaning a river bank.
From the fourteenth century, the Renfrew Ferry has linked Yoker with Renfrew on the south bank of the river. The shipbuilding industry drove the growth of the district in the 19th century; this has since declined, although the nearby Yarrows shipyard, now owned by BAE Systems, is still in operation. Motor vehicles and tramcars were also manufactured in Yoker, which is now an operations centre for the North Clyde Line, part of Glasgow's suburban rail network.
Yoker railway station has services on the North Clyde and Argyle Lines. Several buses travel along Dumbarton Road, the main thoroughfare between Glasgow and Clydebank which runs parallel to the river. A road bridge at the ferry crossing point was constructed in 2024, providing easier access to the retail and leisure facilities at Braehead.
The TV comedy series Limmy's Show featured a sketch in which perpetually stoned Dee Dee Durie travelled to Yoker on a whim, finding the experience an exciting and terrifying adventure rather than a mundane bus journey.

The station is served by ScotRail as part of the SPT network, on the Argyle and
North Clyde Lines.
It is the nearest railway station to the Renfrew Ferry, and also the closest to the recently opened Renfrew Bridge on the north bank of the River Clyde.
The large Yoker Traction Maintenance Depot, which looks after the EMU fleet used on North Clyde suburban services, is a short distance to the east, towards Garscadden. Yoker IECC is also nearby - this has controlled the signalling on the entire North Clyde network since established by British Rail in 1989.
