History

The original Dundee Station dated from 1878 when it was known as Dundee Tay Bridge Station. It was one of three stations in Dundee itself around that time.

This station was demolished in 2014 and reopened in 2018 as part of the Dundee Waterfront Project which includes the V&A across the road.

The Sleeperz Hotel forms part of the new station which was designed by local architects, Nicoll Russell Studios.
