A complex road junction.

A complex road junction with green traffic islands. The islands themselves are complicated road junctions with foot and cycle paths connecting various underpasses. In the background there are recently completed flat blocks overlooking the Clyde.

A three-car class 314 emu (314.206), in Strathclyde Passenger Transport Executive livery, calling at Partick with the 13.40 Motherwell – Dalmuir. The stock was derived from the Southern Region’s “PEP” emu – see this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_314 for more information. Note the degree of cant on the curve.

An electric train departs from Partick train station on a westbound service from platform 2. The photograph was taken from platform 1. Partick station is a large glass structure as can be seen from the waiting area in the background. This busy interchange station sees around 16 trains per hour passing through. In the basement there is an underground subway station.

The view of the entrance to Partick Station. The facade has recently been completed (see Image). The entrance is for both the railway and the underground stations. The station entrance is approximately on the site of what was Merkland Street underground station. Both stations were renamed Partick when the railway station was moved from the north side of Dumbarton Road to its present site.

This marvellous statue is of the G.I. Bride, a character who appeared from time to time in Bud Neill's brilliant and surreal 'Lobey Dosser' cartoon strip. Having married a G.I. and followed him to make their home in the bizarre township of Calton Creek in the Arizona desert, she found her new life there was sadly dashed with disappointment. And so she was depicted looking suitably forlorn, with her baby son Ned under her arm, constantly trying to thumb a lift back to Glasgow, often with the one-word plea "Pertick ?". The statue was erected on 31 January 2011 and is located in the foyer area at Partick railway and underground station.

The A814 in Glasgow, also known as the Clydeside Expressway, has been partly closed as planned for the COP26 Climate Change Summit. This busy A class road connects the west of the city to the centre and the M8 motorway. Its closure is expected to cause significant traffic disruption in Glasgow. The planned closure commenced on Saturday 23rd October 2021 and will remain in place until Monday 15th November 2021.
