Gorbals railway station (site), Glasgow
Image: © Nigel Thompson Taken: 29 Apr 2019
Opened in 1877 by the Glasgow Barrhead & Kilmarnock Joint Railway, later part of both the Caledonian and Glasgow & South Western Railways, when the line from Kilmarnock to Southside station was extended northwards to a new terminus at Glasgow St. Enoch. Gorbals was the only intermediate station and was close to the old station at Southside. It was also adjacent to Main Street Station. View south west from Lauriston Road. The platforms had been on the viaduct here, but it no longer carried a railway line when this image was taken.
