The eastern portal of Kelvinhaugh Tunnel is located at the western end of the eastbound platform at Exhibition Centre station. The tunnel is unusual in a number of ways. Firstly, it is nowadays used only by trains travelling in one direction; westbound trains do not pass through a tunnel here. The western end of the tunnel has changed completely, since 1979 emerging near Finnieston West Junction where the line joins the former North British Railway route along the north side of the Clyde. Until 1964 it continued along the old Caledonian Railway route to Dumbarton with a junction inside the tunnel for a line to Maryhill. It was closed to all traffic between 1964 and 1979.
