Opened in 1896 by the Glasgow Central Railway on the line from Newton to Maryhill and Dawsholm, this station closed in 1939. The line through the station closed in 1964. View north west towards Kirklee and Maryhill, also Dawsholm. The station was underground, but airshafts from the gardens above still allow the platforms to be viewed. The street level building, behind the camera position, burned down in 1970.
