Former Kelvinside Railway Station, built by the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railway in 1897. The line ran under the station building and under Great Western Road. The station closed in 1942, but the line was used for freight traffic until 1966. The building suffered a fire in 1980, but was restored and converted into a restaurant, 'Carriages', which opened in 1983. There was another fire in 1995 and the building was gutted. After rebuilding a few years later, the restaurant reopened as 'Stazione' and 'Lux'. It has been 1051 GWR, since 2015. The domes are all-weather private hire spaces. Each dome seats up to eight people for a meal or up to 12 for drinks only. The building is Category B listed https://canmore.org.uk/site/148508/glasgow-1051-great-western-road-kelvinside-station.
